The Silent Sons Initiative
THE SILENT SONS INITIATIVE IS A SPECIALIZED DIVISION OF NINE SECONDS CORPORATION
You were BUILT TO DOMINATE, NOT BREAK!
You’ve checked every box. The career, money & the influence.
You were built to dominate but somewhere along the way, the pressure started calling the plays instead of you. Your success put a target on your back.
You face relentless expectations, external scrutiny, and a deep, internal belief that nothing you do is ever enough. And now? One mistake, one outburst, one headline, can cost you everything. It’s time to flip the script on the pressure.
We get it. We see the real you.
No judgment, No shade.
Declaration of
THE SILENT SONS
We are the generation of men who choose to rise. Not in ego, but in truth.
We are no longer willing to carry wounds in silence, perform for approval, or pretend that pain makes us weak.
We are naming what was stolen, broken, or never taught.
We are facing the father wounds, the anger, the shame, and the fear. We are dismantling the lies we were told about who we are and who we need to be.
We will grieve the versions of ourselves built on survival skills, scarcity, and oppressive mindsets.
We are rebuilding incrementally, intentionally, powerfully, and in alignment with who we truly are and what we believe in as an individual not the collective. We believe vulnerability is not weakness, it is leadership.
We believe accountability is not punishment, it is freedom.
We believe fatherhood is not just presence, it is legacy.
We believe healing is not a luxury, it is a responsibility. We honor our bodies.
We reclaim our voices.
We restore our integrity.
We respect our bodies.
We resurrect our humanity.
We choose connection over isolation, Purpose over performance and Legacy over ego.
We are not here to be saved.
We are here to heal our hearts, reshape our minds, resurrect our spirits and transform our lives.
This is The Silent Sons Initiative™.
This is our time. This is our truth. And we are not going back.

" Dr. Marci was my advisor for over a year. Working with her one on one I was able to finally learn how to look at my dysfunctional patterns of self-medicating, my domestic violence past, and how I was raised to see as how it has affected my entire life. For the first time I finally see how I have allowed others to treat me and how I didn't speak up for myself. I have started journaling and writing my story from my dysfunctional family system to current day, the parts of my life that I used to be ashamed of. It has truly changed my life!"
