I wasn’t supposed to be here. At 14, my mom went to prison. I didn’t meet my biological father until I was 24—and he’d been in and out of prison my whole life. The odds said I’d repeat the cycle. But faith, hard work, and determination rewrote my story.

In this episode, I’m opening up for the first time about my journey from breaking generational curses to building generational wealth—and why this matters especially for minorities.

We’ll talk about:

  • Why homeownership is one of the most powerful tools for breaking generational poverty
  • How owning a home increases your child’s chances of graduating from college
  • Why children of homeowners are more likely to become homeowners themselves
  • How homeownership reduces the likelihood of teen parenting
  • Practical steps to build wealth through property, investments, and life insurance

I’ll also be introducing my mortgage business and my mission: to help families, young adults, and at-promise youth turn their dreams into legacies. You don’t need millions to build generational wealth—you just need the right plan and the courage to start.

If you’ve ever felt like the odds are stacked against you, this episode is for you. It’s time to break the curse, build the legacy, and change the story for generations to come.

  2. Take back control of your life and eliminate distractions
  3. Create a plan and execute with massive action
