The Mattis Five
About Our Family
The Mattis Five is a family of Jamaican heritage consisting of five members Al (Chaplain), Yhaneek (Nurse Practitioner), Joshua (Student), Analise (student) and Arielle (student). Where we come from plays a vital role in the family that we are today. Our place of residence is in Atlanta Ga. Mattis Five was birthed from a desire to reach families like us and to shed light on the saliency of the family system. The Mattis Five was created with the focus on the family as the most important unit.
As such our aim is to inspire and create a space where families, soon to be families and couples can engage and share their life’s experiences with the sole purpose of strengthen the family system. Moreover, we developed five pillars that we believe best represents our family. They are faith, family, fun, finance and fitness. Our aim is to live out these pillars as best as we can throughout our daily lives. There is intentionality in the sequence of our pillars as it relates to our household as we believe that God is the head of our family.
Who We Are
The Mattis Five embodies a lifestyle that the average family can relate to. We take budgeted trips to different countries to learn about their culture. Seeing the world with our kids helps with improving our bond as the experiences have been shared together. We work nine to five jobs, so time is a very important feat in maintaining family relations. Our family number 5 represents humanity as such we always remember to keep the mirrors of our limitations in view. That is, we try to remain grounded and know that in our humanness we are susceptible to fail. We understand that every failure presents an opportunity to learn. We value others and respect their feelings and most important, we are not perfect. The Mattis Five understands that individually we can accomplish a great deal however collectively we can accomplish more together.
