Let me tell you how God works. When I was a kid in Alabama, I would get into all kinds of trouble for climbing people's pecan trees and stealing their pecans. My second love was cherries, and when I came north, I would get in trouble for climbing people's cherry trees and eating their cherries. I'm in the process of purchasing a house - a house that has a cherry tree in the backyard, which I didn't even realize until today. He will chart your path, align your course, and give you the desires of your heart.

As one who has experienced trauma firsthand, not just sympathized with or had empathy for, but has lived in that place where the past won't let you go and won't let you grow. Where the discomfort you feel in certain places and spaces makes you want to run or walk away swiftly. A place where who you are and who you want to be seems virtually impossible to achieve. A place where it's the middle of summer, the birds are chirping, the flowers are fragrant, and the sun is shining, but not on you. My mother and father died never realizing the damage they had done. My brother never taught me how to shoot a jump shot, how to talk to girls, or how to make a dollar out of fifteen cents. To this day, I ask myself, why did she beat us so badly, why did she steal me from my dad, why did my brother abandon me and his own son? Even though I know abuse, neglect, father's running away from home, and mothers trying to find themselves in yet another man's bed are generational curses, passed down generation after generation. That's the hard part about what I do as a profession. I can see trauma from a mile away, and often there's nothing I can do about the damage that's been done, and in a lot of instances, it continues to be done. My prayer is, God, help us to see the damage that we are doing to our children. Help us to heal, because hurt people hurt people. Hurt children become hurt adults, and the cycle begins again.

In the past, I was not concerned with receiving acknowledgments and recognition. My sole focus was on making a positive impact on the lives of young people and achieving results. Nevertheless, at my current age, which many of my friends did not live to see, I have come to appreciate the value of being acknowledged and celebrated. Thank you, teen empowerment, for evaluating my metrics and finding them deserving of recognition.
