"At eleven, a mentor changed my life. That is the debt I'm still paying, one young person at a time."

"Potential is everywhere opportunity is not. Me growing up in the inner city and working with inner-city youth taught me they do not need saved, they need to be heard, challenged, and equipped. Having stood on stages and engaged with hundreds of youth I bring hope and resilience that breaks through the fog and noise that creates transformation. We do not just speak to young people we create a transfusion that build them into leaders for tomorrow."
