You choose your own path and who/what you allow to hold space in your head. Choose wisely. Life is too short to rent space to the nay sayers and haters. There will always be those trying to drag you down with them, hold your head high & push through. #YouGotThis#sundayvibes
For over 2 decades, Jeff Schoep lead America’s largest neo-Nazi organization, the National Socialist Movement (NSM), overseeing its growth to a nationwide movement.
Beginning in 2016, through interactions with a black musician, Daryl Davis, and a Muslim film maker, Deeyah Khan, Jeff began to question not only his work, but his entire life.
Experiencing relational dialogue and interpersonal relationships with those he once vilified changed Jeff’s life forever.
In 2019, he left the the NSM and publicly denounced the ideology.
In 2020, Jeff founded Beyond Barriers, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to a world devoid of extremism, radicalized organizations, hate, violence, coercive and violent ideologies.
Beyond Barriers maintains partnerships with research institutions such as Simon Wiesenthal Center, RAND Corporation, International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism (ICSVE), mental health professionals, academic research and development teams, religious and educational institutions across the United States and abroad.
