dream, believe, become ... I DID IT
Born and raised in Springfield Gardens, Queens NYC I understand the challenges faced black boys born to a single mother face in socio-economically disadvantaged areas. Inspired by my own journey and the support I received along the way, I envisioned a foundation that would provide similar opportunities to others, ensuring that no one is left behind due to a lack of resources or support.
