Hello

I am the flower that grew from bad soil. A product of Newark New Jersey, the third oldest of my mother's ten children. Growing up in an impoverished environment I faced many hardships. I've battled homelessness, depression, anxiety, setbacks and failures. Determined to overcome the obstacles placed in my path I began seeking mentors, older positive male influences that provided the foundation for my growth and development. It takes a village to raise a child, construct a community and restore order; I am elated to do  my part.
