Three things that changed my life
1) My god brother suggesting I attend FAMU for college 2) A random individual (now a mentor) inviting me to a meeting that ignited my passion for youth and mentoring 3) The COVID-19 Pandemic giving me time to prioritize and value my health
My superpower
Connection & Execution - Identifying linkages for people, systems, groups, etc that show alignment and opportunity. Bringing plans and goals to fruition.
Three things I can't live without
Dark chocolate, Bacon, Quiet time
The next destination on my travel bucket list
Cartegena
What keeps me up at night
How we co-exist and thrive as a multi-generational society Not losing the progress achieved by those who came before us
