Brother Saye (Saye
Menlekeh Taryor) is an author, critical thinking education & social
entrepreneur activist, founder of 1up Entertainment/Consulting and the leading

Woods Country Life School (a historically black boarding school, located in
central Mississippi) in 1992. Soon after, he enrolled in the University of
Southern Mississippi, where he pursued a journalism degree. After
realizing his true calling was to illuminate young men and women about the
importance of social entrepreneurship and critical thinking education, he attended
Georgia State University to learn more about critical thinking education and
public speaking.

workshops, which he first hosted with Linda A. Brooks in 2009. As an activist,
he currently promotes his 1up programs and workshops, and is the "Atlanta
