This is why I may not text or call you back after a few days, or sometimes even longer.

It’s been 15 months since I had to evacuate my old apartment.

Here’s an update.

I had to live out of my car for 11 months while dealing with a rare and extremely painful eye disease called Orbital Myositis, which I believe was caused by the toxic mold exposure in my old apartment. I’m finally starting to get some relief from the eye pain within the past week or two.

My eyes were hurting so badly that I couldn’t consistently post videos or make the money I normally could from social media. I’ve been in and out of hospitals so many times over the past few years that I’ve honestly lost count.

I never had a visitor or even a phone call just to check if I was okay.

At some point, I started putting “God” down as my emergency contact at hospitals.

I had to throw away practically everything I owned, including the equipment I needed to launch my business, Partyverse(dot)org. This will now be the third time I’ve had to rebuild and purchase new equipment.

I even asked a family member that I previously loaned $35,000 to help save their business, money I never got back, if they would co sign for a business loan. Their credit score is over 800. I even offered part ownership of my business.

The answer was no.

When I was finally approved for another apartment, the manager purposely delayed the move in process, which extended my homelessness another three months.

Then, on the day I finally moved in, I drove to Walmart to buy things for my new apartment and my car died right there in the parking lot.

It only had 42,000 miles on it and was in the shop for three weeks.

I had to walk to get food every day while dealing with severe eye pain until my car was ready.

And unfortunately, the story didn’t end there.

One month after I moved in, the apartment manager raised the rent and told me I owed a previous balance that I didn’t actually owe. I paid it because I wasn’t going to risk being evicted again.

They later admitted it was a glitch in their system. I didn’t receive the money back. I only received a credit.

My medical bills related to the toxic mold exposure and treatment are now close to $20,000 out of pocket.

I’ve spent so much money seeing different specialists and dealing with medical expenses that I haven’t even been able to furnish my apartment.

And now, as of two days ago, my car has been repossessed. I’m walking again.

But I’m still here.

For months after moving into this apartment, I could barely do anything for myself. I could only work on my projects when my eyes weren’t flaring up as badly.

So when people ask me, “Why don’t you just get a job?” I honestly wish it were that simple.

I haven’t been physically able to work a normal 9 to 5 job. Lord knows I wish I could.

But here’s what I’ve been able to accomplish while sitting in this camp chair shown in the photo for the past three months:

I rebranded my business.

I launched a nonprofit organization and got it federally recognized as a public charity.

I’ve designed three websites.

I have 4 books ready for publishing.

And I’m still building.

All I need is my health and WiFi.

That’s it.

I was trained to work with a computer completely blind in case I ever lost my vision completely. I can type over 100 words per minute with my eyes closed.

I’m also preparing for my toxic mold case, which is scheduled for trial at the beginning of January. I’ve spent a long time dealing with what happened to me privately, but I think it’s time for me to start opening up.

I’m not posting this for sympathy.

I’m not posting this asking everyone for prayers.

I’m posting this because I want people to understand.

I’m posting this because there could be one person out there on the brink of giving up or ending their own life (don’t give up!)

And I’m posting this because you are all witnesses to what God has brought me through, where I am right now, and where I’m going.

If it weren’t for the circumstances surrounding my health and everything that happened with my old apartment, I would already be a multi-millionaire.

If you’ve been watching everything I’ve been working on and you see a way you can help, collaborate, connect me with the right people, or help take my brand to the next level, I’m all ears.

I’m also willing to relocate if there’s an opportunity for me in another state or even overseas. I have a passport and I’m open to going wherever the right opportunity takes me.

I’m a major asset to anyone, especially if you’re looking to start or scale a business.

Enjoy your Sunday. ❤️

Do you all remember Duane Foote? I have a testimony to share.

Duane Foote is a disabled U.S. Army veteran in his 70s whom I met a few years ago while he was living outside of a gas station.

We sat down and shared a meal at Luby’s, and then he pulled out several tablets filled with poetry from his backpack he had written over the years. I told him that day that I would help him publish his first book.

Some of you generously donated to help pay for a weekly stay at a motel, where he was able to get some good rest. He later stayed with me for a couple of days while we waited for a spot to open up at a drug treatment program.

During that time, I typed and edited his first poetry collection, “Poetry by the Lake.”

I’m proud to say that Duane hasn’t touched drugs since. He’s been clean as a whistle and is now living a stable life at an assisted living facility in Spring, Texas.

I’ve had my own setbacks due to the toxic mold exposure from my old apartment and ongoing health issues, which delayed the project, but I’m happy to announce that Duane Foote’s dream of becoming a published author is finally becoming a reality. His book is now ready to be published!

Here is living proof that you’re never too old to fulfill your dreams or discover purpose. Let’s help Duane become a best-selling author. “Poetry by the Lake” is only the first of many books to come. 😎❤️💯✍🏽

This is what happens when you prioritize compatibility over financial stability. Too many people are looking for a finished product instead of a life partner.

Focus on his mind, not the money.

Two minds are greater than one. Millions of dollars are being made every day by couples building brands and businesses together online.

Financial stability is important in the long-run. But it’s not supposed to be the first thing you look for when you meet a man.

What’s his character like?

Does he have a vision?

Is he actively working on his goals?

We’re no longer building together. Now it’s “what can you offer me?” One day there may not be any families left living under one household. It’s that deep.

I could never marry someone who would only “love” me if I’m rich. Marriage vows say “for richer or poorer.”

If money and material things are what attract a woman to me, they’ll also be the first things that threaten the relationship when they’re gone.

Sometimes all a man needs is one person by his side who believes in his vision. The rest could be history. 🤷🏽‍♂️✨❤️💯

I’m happy to announce that my poem “Surprise!” Is now a children’s book! 🥳 This is the first of many and it’s available before its official release for free on my website. The link will be in the comments.

Sometimes the blessings we’ve been “waiting” on have been staring in our face the entire time. I’m offering the book free for a limited time only in exchange for honest feedback that you can post on my website and page.

Your support is greatly appreciated!

Self love is the best love. 💜

I might be the happiest dad in the world.

I thought when my son got older that we’d start talking less, not more.

Instead, we talk every day - most times multiple times a day. I’m grateful that we can have honest, heart-to-heart conversations and share the bond that we have.

He’s been such a great kid. Never been in any sort of trouble, always respectful, and a true gentleman. I know he has a special future ahead of him, and I thank God that through all of the health issues I’ve faced over the last few years, I’m still here to witness it.

I’ve been calling him “Commando Lando” since he was a baby. Now he’s going into the Air Force and will potentially save a lot of lives.

He was my hero first. I don’t know where I’d be without my son.

Congratulations, Lando, and congratulations to all of the 2026 graduates! 🥳

The homeless individuals who no longer have the strength to ask for help are the ones who need it the most. Please notice them. They're ignored every minute of every day.

She's a senior citizen who doesn't deserve to be out here like this in this condition no matter what's happened in her life.

There's enough money in the USA for every American citizen to have access to housing and medical care.

If you live in Houston and won't mind checking on her from time to time, please inbox me and I will give you her location. 🙏🏾
