I believe living a life of purpose entails positively impacting those in the space I occupy.

Preventing violence and dropouts in our schools is very important to me.

A mentor of mine once told an audience “when I die I want to be all used up.” The essence of his statement resonated deeply within my heart. Therefore, I do whatever I can to change the mindsets of the incarcerated adults and youth I mentor in the streets, middle and high schools, Boys and Girls Clubs, etc.

As a society we cannot sit by, isolated, in some of our seemingly safe communities thinking “as long as my kids are okay, we are okay.”

Working for the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Prisons, I encounter daily the results of children left behind, ignored, abused, bullied, and psychologically scarred by another child who experienced the same challenges. Even those children raised on military installations are exposed to the same challenges as their civilian counterparts.

As a transformational speaker my audiences include middle, elementary and high students, inmates, and churches, social and other organizations. I use a “High Impact Dramatization Experience”, (HIDE)  an impactful presentation geared toward youth addressing bullying, choices, drugs, gangs, crime and education.

I am a certified Dream Coach and Dream Coach Group Leader, True Purpose Coach and Bullying Expert.
