I’ve endured so much. I started off as a young adult, living in sec 8, high school drop out, with a child. I made something of myself!

At 20, I was labeled a “loser,” lost and directionless. Refusing to accept that fate, I transformed my life. Now, over 40, I’m proud to have been the top 1% of realtors and an inventor with patents worldwide. Every challenge taught me resilience and self-love, shaping my respect for myself and others. To anyone feeling counted out: your past doesn’t define you. Embrace change, believe in yourself, and keep writing your story. The best chapters are yet to come!
How do you stay fabulous?Daily reading and mentorship have transformed my life. I practice meditation and believe in the power of the mind—what you put out into the world comes back to you. By complimenting strangers, I create a cycle of positivity that reflects in my own life. Feeling good inside radiates outward, opening doors to new opportunities and happiness. Above all, faith guides my journey. Embrace growth, cultivate positivity, and watch how your world transforms!
What would you do with the $40,000?As I work towards developing youth groups, I’m driven by a vision to inspire our young people and give them the direction I once sought. My invention revenue will fuel initiatives that make a real difference in our community. I believe in empowering youth to discover their potential and create positive change. Together, we can guide the next generation, helping them find their paths and transform their lives. That is my hearts desire and life goal!
