About Us
Raise To Lead (RTL) is a values-driven parenting and leadership brand focused on character, mentorship, emotional resilience, and identity development in children.
We support parents, mentors, and families who believe leadership begins at home through consistent language, example, and expectations.
RTL publishes neutral, human-centered insights on parenting, mentorship, and youth development designed to inform families and communities.
Stewart Gbenpelle
"We are not just raising children; we are raising the future standard of leadership. In a world that often rewards noise, I founded Raise To Lead to advocate for the quiet strength of character."
My mission is simple: to equip parents and mentors with the tools to build resilience, integrity, and identity in the next generation. Because when the foundation is strong, the leader will stand."
Our Core Emphasis
We emphasize leadership as character, not authority.
Leadership is defined by character, not just authority or title.
We view emotional strength as the necessary foundation for true confidence.
Mentorship is a critical influence in child development that cannot be overlooked.
Language and Environment are the key drivers of how a child forms their identity.
