My interactions with the world are influenced by my experiences as a young, Black male.  

Most of my life has been characterized by constant minimization, ridicule, and doubt. Despite my trials and tribulations, I have cultivated a strong, impenetrable will. I have learned to find joy and comfort in my sufferings, knowing that they provide opportunities for growth. At each stage of growth and development comes new trials and tribulations for which I am grateful to confront as a testament of strength of will. At each state of growth and development I grow more confident and courageous, paying homage to my past and the preparation that my experiences have provided me.

I am committed to the work of servant leadership and empowering communities. I have followed my principles with purpose, intensity, and passion, without compromise. Ultimately, life is about making the most out of the time we make, and it should be pursued with an unapologetic amount of determination.
