Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Some of the struggles along the way was to get financial support. I was truly blessed to have multi-Millionaire Antonio T.Smith Jr. to donate $350,000 to my school and another $350,000 to my organization Justice for All.
We’d love to hear more about your work and what you are currently focused on. What else should we know?
I just received a community service award from Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee. On a weekly basis, we feed over 100 home bond senior citizens and youth in the community. I also help new business owners and those who want to start a business. Through the ATS Business University, I will head of the World Hunger Relief Program. This effort will help starving kids around the world that need food.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
My community growing up in 5th Ward and Acres Homes. I had very strict teachers who refused to let me be a statistic. That is why I give back to my community.
