Born in New York, moved to San Francisco, and eventually rooted and raised in Miami, Florida, my journey was far from easy. I had humble beginnings, and though I was born with a burning desire to succeed. As a child, while most kids were worried about getting home before the street lights came on, I was questioning if my mother would be at home!
Incredible as it may seem, I was raised mostly by my brothers, family, and friends while my mother took care of her business in the streets. I was caught up in the life of hustling and drug dealing, scheming, and stripping, but even during that life, I had a dream. I had yet to find the vehicle to take me to the heights I was destined to aspire.
