About the business:

In 2000, Barnabas Uba Shakur's childhood friend, a member of the notorious street gang called the Bloods, was accused and convicted of a crime at the young age of 19, receiving a life sentence. This event deeply affected Barnabas, prompting him to take action. Three years later, at just 23 years old, he founded a nonprofit organization called Bed Stuy's Project Re-Generation, Inc. (PRG) to help prevent other teens in his neighborhood from falling victim to similar circumstances. In 2016, the PRG cleaning program was discontinued, leading to the formation of Foot Soldiers, LLC for property maintenance by former members of the nonprofit.
