It has been a passion and hard work in developing a foundation to bring to our youth and bringing community outreach to the communities of Baltimore and abroad shaping the lives of so many is all that I need each day to keep going and continue to be a beacon of hope for the future generations of youth behind me.

To build a strong team, you must see someone else’s strength as a complement to your weakness and not a threat to your position or authority.”

Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. Our Children Matter has been a blessing of added love strength and empowerment, giving our youth room to grow and exceed. Community building is needed. Our youth need us.

Shining a light for all to see".
