Determination beats procrastination.
My first international ad in Times Square
Happy 11 th anniversary to the ad that helped me realize I needed to do more than just be tough or halfway good looking and own something for myself 😂😂.

Since social media is all about wins, let’s talk about some losses. Although this ad was an international 1, with billboards in Times Square, in menshealth, Men’s fitness and many others, I remember not being able to go see if for myself 😂😂 (the way the payments timeframes are set up lol, was a nice payout BUT took forever.)
This moment was pivotal in me realizing that what you do, did, are doing is not as big as the reality that you are not what you do did or are doing 😆 enjoy the ride, be versatile, be humble, mind your business and be open. So many came before, so many will come after. Happy Friday. by @ah_dem

The storm is coming… guess who’s gonna be ready?
I usually don’t miss- all through the glory and favor of GOD.
August and September is usually a good month for me- I set great physical challenges, for the month of August I will bike 100 miles 50 in 1 day and the month of September 100 miles in 1 day.

All for a good cause! And for physical RESET 🔂. Looking for people to join me… allll for a good cause: youth empowerment.

It was not only an honor, but a true privilege, to be recognized by #Mayor #BrandonJohnson for my dedication to empowering young people and building bridges that create opportunities for marginalized communities.

As an immigrant who made Chicago an initial home, I’ve experienced firsthand the challenges of adapting to a new culture, navigating unfamiliar systems, and finding my place in a constantly changing world. Those experiences shaped my purpose. I made it my mission not only to adapt, but to excel—and to help the next generation do the same.

Through @youthforabetterfuture , we’ve had the privilege of mentoring, guiding, and creating pathways for countless young people as they navigate life’s uncertainties with greater confidence, clarity, and hope. There is no greater investment than helping a young person discover their potential.

While I wear many hats, this work has always been my greatest calling. There is still so much more to do, and we cannot do it alone. We are always looking to welcome strategic partners, volunteers, mentors, and supporters who share our vision of building stronger futures together.

Thank you, @brandon4chicago , for this meaningful recognition. It inspires us to continue serving our communities with excellence and purpose. The work continues.

I am lucky to have amazing anchors around me including @nobasi2012 and all. Although I didn’t play a part in the selection process, I thank you all and received it with deep humility. by @ah_dem

These moments mean everything to me.

Excellence is a feeling. It’s an action. It’s repetition.
Make the AAA’s sound LOUD- like your initials

The great moments we experience and witness in life are rarely a coincidence, they are fueled by consistent effort, discipline, and a relentless pursuit of greatness. When you achieve something through your own hard work and dedication, the reward is even more meaningful.

Congratulations, Son. ❤️🖤❤️

You continue to make me proud every day. Keep striving, keep growing, and keep believing in yourself. Your future is bright because you’ve earned every step of the journey 🤞🏿 by @ah_dem
