It goes beyond winning games and championships. I want to have great impact on the lives of young people, the way I needed when I was a player.

Black Excellence was Everywhere ✊🏾

Last week I had the opportunity to attend a Black History Month celebration and networking event hosted by @bebcsociety @blackbusinessbc @bdc_ca and @bkrcapital It was inspiring to be surrounded by entrepreneurs, innovators, builders, and leaders who are creating real impact in their industries and communities.

As someone committed to building platforms through sport, youth development, and entrepreneurship, it’s powerful to connect with others who are creating opportunities and pushing our communities forward.

Moments like this remind me that collaboration is powerful, and the future we’re building together is bigger than any one of us. Grateful for the conversations, and the vision in the room. Looking forward to the connections and opportunities ahead.

Is British Columbia Basketball Behind??? 🤔🇨🇦🏀

BC is the only major province in the country that doesn’t have PREP Basketball as an option at home, which has constantly lead to top prospects having to leave home in pursuit of the next level.

A special night shared with special people.

I was truly honoured to attend the @blackbusinessbc Excellence Awards and be nominated alongside so many outstanding business and community leaders.

I never imagined I’d be walking the paths I’m on today. This journey is proof that anything is possible when you surround yourself with the right circle and choose to bet on yourself.

Honoured to be nominated for Exceptional Professional Service Provider by the Black Business Association of BC @blackbusinessbc

What started as a vision to serve and uplift through basketball has grown into something far bigger, a community of young people, families, and coaches all working together to create opportunity and impact.

I’m grateful for every athlete who’s trusted me, every parent who’s believed in the process, and every partner who’s helped bring this mission to life. Recognition like this reminds me that the work matters and that we’re just getting started.

Thank you to the @blackbusinessbc for shining a light on Black entrepreneurship, leadership and for continuing to highlight and celebrate Black excellence across the province. 🖤
