ABOUT US
Our Story
As a kid growing up in Newhallville, I can remember having lots of things to do and an enormous pool of mentors to guide me along the way, such as; my mom, family, church members and community leaders.
Life in Newhallville had many phases to it. While time, crime and poverty rates took a turn for the worse, it became harder for mentors and programs to find space and time that would give the next generation world-class enrichment experiences and opportunities that I had, had. It was those times that help prepare me handling my weaknesses. Reading, writing, spelling and comprehension were my challenges, but I did not let that stop me from asking for help. My experiences built me up for taking on challenges and succeeding.
After graduating college, I took some time to study the impact of reading, writing and business through the lens of Showbiz in Hollywood, CA. The experience was eye-opening and filled me with so many ideas and possibilities for ensuring that the next generation of Newhallville will have access to opportunities that would render them positive outcomes in life. I am grateful for what God has favored me with and I consider it an honor to serve a community that served me well.
I am Inspired by the Possibilities!
