I would like to take the time to thank my my amazing community, the Lord, and Inweekly Media , for choosing me for the "2023 rising star award!" I am beyond honored, and feel it is more important to thank a few important teams, organizations, and business that gave me the tools, learning, and experience, that has prepared me for the journey to the stars. @tmobile , @navyfederal , and @lamaradvertisingcompany for giving me the experience of working with so many different walks of life and better learning how I can support anyone with any talents i may have. Jubilee Men @jubileepensacola for the spiritual healing and strengthening through the Lord, while working in the spirit. @ewbullockassoc for being beyond supportive of my multiple passions and interests and making room to see me thrive to the best of my ability. The professors and great people at @pensacolastatecollege for giving me the tools and continued support even today. @artelpensacola , @aafpensacola , @pensacolamuralists , and @pensacoladesigners , for the honor of serving on boards of directors, and allowing me to use my abilities, to promote opportunities for my community from within. And last but not least, each and everyone of you that continue showing your love and support.

Those of you that even before I saw it or had time to respond, took time to reach out have no idea how much it means! I've mentioned in the past that though it may seem that it's all rainbows, I would be lying if I said there hasn't been adversity, hardship, and many that have pushed away from me simply wanting to help my fellow man. However, your support and encouragement pushes me to continue because I know those that came before me, did the same in the face of the same struggles, to help me get to where I am today. And with that, we are just taking off. So put your tray tables back in the upright position and fasten your seat belts, because we still have a long way to go and it's gonna get rough; but who else is coming with me!? #takeoff #blastoff #community
