YOUR PAST DOES NOT DEFINE YOUR FUTURE!

Every chain can be broken. Every life has value. And everyone deserves an opportunity for a second chance.

I am excited to share that I will be a Featured Speaker at BREAKING CHAINS: Formerly Incarcerated Panel & Agency Forum, presented by the Human Services Department at San Bernardino Valley College.

This event is more than a panel discussion. It is an opportunity to challenge stereotypes, share powerful stories of transformation, and remind our community that a person's past does not have to determine their future.


Throughout my journey, I have learned that obstacles, setbacks, and life experiences can become the very things that prepare us to make a difference in the lives of others.


I look forward to sharing lessons from my journey, the importance of personal accountability, and the work we continue to do through Young Visionaries Youth Leadership Academy to empower youth, strengthen families, and create pathways to success.
