Having two children four months apart at the age of 21, I learned the lessons of life the hard way. I was a two time felon before the age of 18 as life constantly brought challenges. In spite of the strikes against me, I kept the faith that God was molding me for greatness. I maintained a business, played college football, and obtained a B.A. degree in Quantitative Economics as well as a Masters of Business Administration. As Executive Director of Black Family United, and a College Economics Instructor, I am 100% devoted to encouraging the next generation to embrace the beauty and benefit of marriage, family and community devotion regardless of failed attempts in life. Perseverance is the only difference between victory and defeat. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF & NEVER EVER GIVE UPview less
