The Blac Shrec

A movement for those who've walked through the fire and are ready to rise. A space for the misunderstood, the black sheep, the dreamers, and the doers; to heal, grow, and become.

I MEAN TO GROW, NOT TO PERFECT; TO BE REAL, CONFIDENT, AND WHOLE. AND IF I SUCCEED, IT WILL SHOW IN HOW GENUINELY I LIVE.

FOR THE MISUNDERSTOOD. THE CYCLE BREAKERS THE BECOMING.

The Blac Shrec began as a nickname for Cornelius; inspired by Shrek, the misunderstood hero who found love beyond judgment. Cornelius saw himself in that story: an outcast, walking through the hardest seasons, not by accident, but to bring healing to others.

Today, that name has become a movement; building leaders of high character through a simple three-step philosophy: Build. Measure. Become.

THE HEARTBEAT OF
THE BLAC SHREC

A three-step rhythm for growth and transformation.

BUILD

We build confidence, courage, and community. Through mentorship, coaching, and storytelling, we help people discover the strength within their pain and the purpose in their journey.

MEASURE

We measure not by perfection, but by progress. Here, success isn't about image. It's about becoming more whole, more grounded, and more true to yourself each day.

BECOME

We become what we were always meant to be. Healed, free, and ready to lead others home. Because every scar has a story, and every story deserves light.
