Currently, I'm pursuing a Ph.D. in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies at Wayne State University. I hold a Master's degree in Studies of Law from the University of Southern California Gould School of Law, as well as a B.A. in Business (Marketing) from Marygrove College. I've also completed the Graphic Design program at Specs Howard School of New Media Arts, earning a certificate in Graphic Design. With over 15 years of experience in Youth Development and Educational Technology, I've contributed to organizations such as Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs of Northeast Mississippi, YMCA of Metropolitan Detroit, Central Michigan University's Upward Bound programs, Marygrove College, and Wayne State University.
My enthusiasm for life is boundless, and I firmly believe in the power of pursuing one's passions. It's astonishing that not everyone shares my level of excitement for life. I'm driven by a desire to see more people living intentionally, embracing life to the fullest, and finding fulfillment. The idea of individuals spending their lives unhappy, doing what they dislike, troubles me deeply.
It's not everyday you encounter a young black man discussing the value of a non-conformist lifestyle and the significance of turning ideas into reality. I consider it my duty to showcase that designers, tech enthusiasts, and creatives come in all forms and aren't limited to the traditional corridors of Harvard and Google. Creativity and potential reside within each of us; all it takes is the courage to recognize and embody it. I'm wholeheartedly up for this challenge!
At my core, I embody the roles of entrepreneur, thinker, realist, dreamer, designer, builder, and life enthusiast. My personal and professional motto is: “You can either work to live or design a life; the choice is yours.”
Let's see what the future holds!
