My journey began as a foster child in Chicago, leading me to enlist in the Marine Corps at 17. With two decades of service, I retired as a Gunnery Sergeant. My ventures, including Operation Heroes Connect and Soiled Beauty, reflect my commitment to empowerment. As an author and speaker, I've shared my experiences on national platforms, inspiring others to embrace resilience and authentic leadership.

From public speaking to entrepreneurship and philanthropy, everything I do is centered around helping individuals and communities unlock their potential, embrace resilience, and create lasting impact. Whether it's through mentoring youth, empowering Black women, supporting veterans, or educating others on cannabis wellness, my mission is always to inspire growth, connection, and transformation.
