What is your life's mission?

My mission in life is to help young people, especially young men, realize their potential and empower them and help equip them with the tools needed to live their best possible life.

What does being a black man mean to you?

Being a black man means understanding that “black male” stereotypes still exist. “We are angry, we are violent, we don’t take care of our children, we are cheaters, we’re not as smart as our white counterparts, etc.” However, I, along with other black men, know that we are blessed with the intellectual capacity and moral fiber needed to destroy these “black male” stereotypes. Finally, being a black man means that I am a part of a brotherhood. And as brothers, we must do what we can to elevate one another.
