What an eventful week it’s been! Feeling truly grateful for every chance God has given me to speak. This past Sunday, I was honored to be the guest speaker at Macedonia Missionary Baptist Church in Gadsden, Pine Grove Worship Center in Lincoln, and Jacksonville State University NAACP’s “Take me to Church” program. And today, I had the pleasure of participating in the Black History Month Program at Gadsden Job Corps & Gadsden State College. A huge shoutout to my Dad and my Big Bros, Cari and Darrius, for their unwavering support!

What a blessing to join Belview Missionary Baptist Church and Enon Missionary Baptist Church for worship today! It was such an honor to be recognized by my former student, Jhoss Cole, and the Belview family—a true pillar in our community. I’m also grateful for the opportunity to serve as the guest speaker for Enon Missionary Baptist Church’s Black History Month Program. What a true blessing it is to make a difference and be a role model for our young people right here in our community.
