James says in the trailer, “When you grow up in the inner-city, in the projects, no one cares about you. The goal of this school is to have these kids feel like superheroes.”
In November 2019, James announced plans to expand on the initiate with the I Promise Village, which will provide transitional housing for families of students at the school.
