-
I was the 3rd born child that grew up in a single-parent home in Philadelphia.
-
My mother had challenges raising three small children on her own, but we remained in a tight-knit community that offered support
-
Growing up in inner-city housing had its challenges, but my mother kept me in sports as an outlet
-
Little League
-
Pee Wee Football
-
Peer pressure was a constant battle but there were always neighbors and family friends that would watch out for me.
-
I had strong men in my community that remained attentive and gave guidance through my adolescent years.
-
At age 16, I accepted Jesus as my personal savior and gave him full control of my life.
-
I began understanding my desire to give back and become a role model like the men in my life. I knew that going to college was non-negotiable.
-
After graduating from bible college, I returned to obtain my M.Ed.
-
Now it is my turn to give back by planting a school in a nearby urban community.
-
The school is in the beginning stages of formation. The 501c3 has been submitted for approval and the work is underway.
