(Just Reality)

You either can starve or you can survive. You have to learn how to go after the things that you want in life. If you think waiting for a hand out is going to get you started, your thinking wrong! You have to get it started yourself. I learn that people will only help you if you help yourself. So that's one of the first things you should do. Find yourself, find your brand, find your label and stamp it! Think positive at all time and focus on the bigger goal that you are trying to accomplish. You should care less about the negativity that people bring to your product and the product is you! Nowadays people don't want to see others succeed. Who could they blame if you don't work you don’t eat? This goes for anything if you are lazy how do you expect to get to where you want to be in life. I would say it’s like a race, but it's not. Never try to outwork the next person but just focus on bettering yourself. There will be a point in your life where you will get knocke...

The doubting, lack of support who can we count on? Where I'm from money and love is everything we lack. If you have seen what I've seen, then you'll understand where I'm coming from. Families go certain nights without eating sometimes. Talent going to waste with no role models spreading the love to encourage one another. It hurts me to see this, knowing that at one point in time this was me and my family in the same situation. Hungry eating Syrup sandwiches for dinner. Meanwhile, the mother is overworking herself with three jobs just to survive. it's not easy in life without money plus love. My hood is the testimony for it, so I know people will agree with me. I have come from the bricks, known as the projects. Section 8 where private landlords rent apartments and homes at fair market rates to qualified low-income tenants. I would say that it is a good thing, but it's like your putting your living conditions into their hands. The government that we have now, m...

I'm just so excited in many ways that I can't even explain them. I want to thank those who have helped me keep pushing towards my dreams. This blog is showing appreciation, thanking people and telling you about my experience traveling to Melbourne Australia. It took me three different planes just to reach my destination. First, I took a flight from Atlanta, Georgia to Lax (Los Angeles). The flight was about 4 hours. Then from Lax, I went to Sydney, Australia which was a 15-hour flight.  I know what your thinking, that is too long to be sitting on a plane. The Flight Actually wasn't that bad at all.  They feed us three meals and you would have free access to the new release movies. Most of the time on the plane you would really be sleeping. So after I arrived in Sydney it was one more flight I had to catch. Last stop was Melbourne, which the flight was about an Hour.  So in total, I've spent 20 hours on a plane. I've left Atlanta Saturday and Arrived in Australia M...

     Overthinking my pathway through life, when it comes down to finding the inner me. I'm lost, with my mind everywhere trying to figure out what is my purpose. I went from playing baseball, filming, and photography. I have been playing baseball my whole life. I started when I was at the age of ten. Even after college, I went to try out for a few independent baseball teams. Also, I reached out to a few teams overseas. I believe it's just a transition in my life where its time to do something new. Then I start to feel like it would be me giving up on my dreams. It's just so much I want to do, but I have to do things one at a time. My mind is so everywhere that's why I just go with the flow of life.    College was one of the moments in my life where being lost really hit me. Once you cross that huge stage, A question pops up. "what am I going to do next ?" is what we ask ourselves.  I answered my own question like, "I don't know man, you have been...

    Every year in the Dukes Foundation we intake intelligent, well talented young men graduating from high school. While moving a step higher and going away in different directions, these young men are beating the odds. Considering where they come from they do not let that distract their focus and determination to be better and do better. There are many people today doubting our young men in this world, telling us things that we are not capable of achieving. Graduating from high school is one of them. I agree there are not too many of our young men graduating from high school. We find ourselves getting caught up in the wrongs things, more so at a young age. This is either causing them to lose their lives or going to prison. As an urban kid growing up from the city I really can understand where they are coming from.     Now here I am, a college graduate from Lane College majoring in Mass C...

All you know is that you are trying to get in where you fit in. One thing about that is you are just lost & Don’t know which direction to go But you know what you want out of life. You just need to know how to get started, You just need to know which step to take first and How to reach out to those people that are willing to help. Better yet, We all want to know where to find the best crowd to place ourselves in. The answers we want them so bad that we start to go searching really hard for them causing yourself Stressing because you can’t find the answers. You start getting upset & burning down the bridges that are connected to your answers. You just not knowing that the answers may be right in your face & you are doing nothing but overlooking them. I learned you have to stay composed and just be patient, which we don’t have but being composed will lead you to your answer. What people don’t understand sometimes the answer will find you. Now for my story, I'm wan...
