LAMONT WEBB
Born and raised in Chicago, I moved to St. Cloud, Minnesota at the age of 16, marking the beginning of my journey that would ultimately lead to a life-changing transformation. Like many young people, I thought I was living my best life, hustling and hanging out, unaware that I was setting the stage for my own downfall. What I didn’t realize then was that I was designing the blueprint for my future failure.
After multiple stints in prison, I hit rock bottom and was forced to face the truth about the direction my life was headed. During my time behind bars, I came to the painful realization that the very thing I despised most—being told what to do—was the same thing I was subjected to every single day. That moment hit me like a Mike Tyson jab to the chin. I knew I had to change. I needed to become a better version of myself and learn from my mistakes.
That’s when the idea for Time To Evolve Coalition (T-TEC) was born. T-TEC is dedicated to shaping the next generation of leaders—empowering men, mentoring youth, and standing in the gap to prevent young people from falling into the prison pipeline. I’m driven by a deep belief that the future of our children matters more than anything, and I’m committed to making sure that future is bright for all of them, not just my own.
At T-TEC, we are passionate about creating change within our community. We believe that what we do today will shape tomorrow, and our mission is to inspire and empower youth with the tools they need to break free from cycles of failure. We believe in the power of mentoring, teaching life skills, and providing the guidance that many of us didn’t have growing up.
The rearview mirror is much smaller than the windshield for a reason—because the future is always ahead of us. We ask that you join us in our mission, with the same passion we have, to help pave the way for a brighter tomorrow.
