Unique Fact About Me:

“In August 1993, I was chosen by Mayor Maynard Jackson to be a member and student in his first leadership academy: The Maynard Jackson Youth Foundation. He selected 11 other students to meet every month to discuss business practices, salesmanship, self-esteem, and critical thinking. Before we graduated, Mayor Jackson took us to the New York Stock Exchange and Manhattan, New York. Years later, my exposure to this youth mentoring program fostered an opportunity to become the co-founder of Connectsportsatl, INC Recreation League. This 501c3 non-profit organization has partnered with Dekalb County Public School since 2012 providing winter leagues, summer sports camps and academic tutoring to students. Youth from over 55 area schools have received training in various sports (basketball, baseball, soccer, cheerleading and flag football), sportsmanship, arts, music, crafts, math and reading, as well as received free meals, clothing and life-skills.”

Bible Verse of Encouragement:
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sins. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit away from me. – Psalm 51
