We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
I don’t prefer to focus on struggles due to that’s what we sign up for when we create. Many people of color have been conditioned to attune everything to a religion, never considering that mental health, nutrition, basic growth development tools had never been incorporated to give a through interpretation of our experiences for what we should do. Many are not accustomed to a message of positivity outside religion, or God. Typically, people like to place. you in a box for me an athlete and by doing that never allows this ideal to have any growth. However, I stay compassionate to however the opportunity presents itself to give’em that cerebral work!
So, as you know, we’re impressed with your work – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
I teach mindfulness, a necessary tool to realize as basics for human growth and development. A formula for realizing an approach to navigate through society to create more of a desired way of being in spite of the trauma that’s hard wired into our being. What sets me aside from others, I’ve accomplished many things in life, I’ve lived the extreme of the super masculine to reach a pinnacle to realize that was not happiness and that there’s a better way of doing many things we do. Simply starting with the breath, our thoughts and realizing our intention.
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
I have a book coming the Mindfulness Playbook, 8 strategies for winning at the game of life. I also have a supplement line coming that will include the alkaline diet that I learned by studying under Dr Sebi. I’m also looking to buy and create sustainable living center with horticulture and pristine water.
