Tae💔

“Fear of something is at the root of hate for others, and hate within will eventually destroy the hater. Keep your thoughts free from hate, and you need have no fear from those who hate you.” — George Washington Carver

Against all odds, by the grace of God, I can proudly say I graduated Cum Laude from the illustrious University of Maryland Eastern Shore with a Bachelor’s degree in Social Science. What once felt impossible became reality through faith, discipline, sacrifice, and perseverance.

These past few years tested me in ways I never imagined. There were long nights, difficult seasons, moments of doubt, and obstacles that could have easily broken me. But every challenge helped shape the man I am becoming, and for that I’m grateful.
Throughout my journey, I had the honor of serving as:
• Resident Assistant (RA)
• Historian & Treasurer of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. — Alpha Mu Chapter
• National Member of Alpha Phi Sigma (ΓΟ)
• President of 3Cs Ministries
• Mr. W.O.R.T.H.💜
• NPHC Secretary
• Member of Men of Distinction 🖤
• Member of M.A.D.E Men
• Campus Activities Board member
…and so much more.

UMES gave me memories, lessons, brotherhood, leadership, and growth that will stay with me forever. Every title I carried came with responsibility, and every experience taught me the importance of service, integrity, and resilience.

The road was long, but I made it. Now it’s time for the next chapter. I walk into this next season with purpose, ambition, and the confidence to take on every challenge ahead.
Forever grateful. Forever Hawk Pride. 🦅💙
