A.D.H. A.J.P. this is for you 🕊️

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”

On May 17th, I graduated Summa Cum Laude from an HBCU.

I always keep it short and sweet, but what better moment than to talk about the favor and faithfulness of God.

These last three years changed me in ways I can’t even fully explain. I came to college unsure about a lot of things, and somewhere between the lessons, the losses, the people, the prayers, and the growing pains, I found Christ in a deeper way than ever before. I found community. I got baptized. I was renewed by the Spirit.

This journey was far from easy, but every moment carried grace. Every setback carried purpose. And every prayer God heard, even the ones I cried in silence.

So this moment is bigger than a degree to me. It’s proof of God’s faithfulness.

Thank you God. Thank you to my family. And thank you JCSU!

Peaceee ✌🏽

Phew this one hits…

I started dancing at 6, then I quit because I wanted to do gymnastics. A year in, my mom was driving me to practice and from the backseat I said “Mom, I think I want to dance again.” Bless my sweet parents because they let me quit gymnastics right then and there😭. I began dancing again shortly after. I believe that was God pulling me back to how He would use me for the rest of my life.

Fast forward to Johnson C. Smith, my “campus tour” was a little different. I met a woman who invited me to attend their annual dance concert…that same woman eventually became my amazing dance coach, Professor O’Toole (I call her PrO’Toole hehe).

My dance journey at Smith has been such a beautiful chaotic journey. I get emotional thinking about how I was supported and given opportunity after opportunity to do something I genuinely love doing…dancing. Throughout my 4 years, God managed to heal every injury and put me back on stage. Every. time. He never delayed.

Thank you students and faculty at Smith for always cheering me on and reminding me of why I love dance. To this day, there are still cheers I hear from the audiences of previous performances. Thank you to all the amazing people I met within the dance department that shaped my time here. I love you all so much.

Thank you Johnson C. Smith.

It doesn’t end here.

to moving forward

Truly at a loss for words on how God used me and kept me in my undergraduate years. I experienced so many trials and mental/physical challenges…little did I know that I would look back on those seasons of my life, praising the Lord that I’m still here…stronger, resilient, wiser, and so much more.

I also received many achievements. Summa Cum Laude, Presidential Scholar, Awarded Best Performer, among other things that I am so grateful for. None of that compares to my biggest reward…FULLY accepting Christ in my life and being transformed. I choose God every day because He chose me before I knew Him. His character gave me foundation. How to love, be selfless, help a neighbor. I could go on, but all his credentials are in the Bible:)

Oh how I’ll praise the Lord for all my days.

Thank you to my family, my friends, my partner, and my professors. Thank you for always showing up and believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself.

I leave Johnson C. Smith not as I walked in…(Thank GOD😭)

“If you want to tell God a joke, tell Him your plans.”

I came to Johnson C. Smith University in 2022 at 18 years old with nothing but aspirations to play football. I leave in 2026 as a man who has grown far beyond what I once planned.

Along this journey, I was blessed to serve, lead, and accomplish more than I ever imagined:

Sophomore Class Treasurer
Junior Class President
Golden Bull Ambassador
Caribbean American Student Association Vice President
The Boys Room Mentor
NABA Member
YBLA College Ambassador
‘26–’27 HBCU Mr. Congeniality
CIAA First Runner-Up
Thee 15th Mr. Johnson C. Smith University
Dean’s List Honor Student

Road-2-Hire Scholar
Presidential Scholar
4x Corporate Intern
Full-time Bank of America Employee
Spring ‘24 Initiate of the Bloody Rho Chapter
‘24–’25 Live Your Creed Award Recipient
Most popular male
Man Crush Monday Winner

I didn’t just attend college—I evolved in it. And I leave with more than a degree: I leave a legacy, along with purpose, discipline, and proof that growth often exceeds the plan. Thank you, JCSU.

“ Eyes front, head high to finish. See it through! “

As I start this new chapter of life, I would like to thank from the bottom of my heart Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., and the RHO Chapter.
You’ve been my pillar of strength, and inspiration all along. This journey has been such a blessing, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
