Beyond the Frame was founded on October 1st, 2025, at the University of West Georgia by Tazsjah Blanton. The name represents a mission to go beyond the traditional dynamic of the Black man. Too often, we are viewed solely through the lens of business or sports, but our excellence extends far past that. This organization celebrates individuality, creativity, leadership, and all forms of success, striving to redefine what it means to be a Black man today.
We believe in growth through knowledge. Elevating Minds means empowering each other to think deeper, challenge norms, and continue learning beyond the classroom. It is about building intellectual confidence and recognizing that leadership starts with mindset.
We move with purpose and pride in who we are. Elevating Culture means redefining how the world sees us, showcasing creativity, unity, and excellence in every space we step into. It is about pushing the culture forward while honoring where we came from.
Leadership is not just a title; it is a way of life. Leading Without Limits means breaking barriers, taking initiative, and inspiring others to do the same. We do not wait for permission; we create opportunity, stand firm in our vision, and lead by example.
