🙏 All Glory to God!

😤 The enemy tried his best, but he COULD NOT win my soul.

I’m grateful to @bobbyblujohnson2 and @abigailsangita for their patience as I struggled for TWO YEARS to understand WHO I was and WHAT I was looking for when I first stepped into @vive.oakland.

❤️‍🩹 Truthfully, my soul was YEARNING for healing. 

For 28 years, I didn’t know how to ask for help. My life, relationships, and business reflected the hurt I secretly lived in. 

😔 I wore a mask, pretending I was okay and “happy,” even when I felt the opposite.

I just didn’t know how to express my feelings. Instead of feeling sad, my survival instincts turned pain into anger when triggered—uncontrolled rage, to be honest.

The truth is, I am a victim of sexual molestation.

A woman stole my innocence at 4, leading to a life of struggles.

I often sought validation from female attention. I knew it was an issue, but I didn’t know how to “fix” it.

🤔 I thought I could live without solutions, but as I grew older, my mental health worsened. As a man, it felt easier to pretend these issues didn’t exist and focus on acting okay.

But I really haven’t been, like EVER. Suicidal thoughts have plagued my mind since I was 25. Thank God I never acted on them; I just suffered in silence.

🙏 At Vive, I learned what a relationship with God is all about. I discovered how disconnected I truly was from my divine nature due to my childhood trauma.

💧 Choosing to get baptized at 31 represents my decision to FULLY STEP INTO a relationship with Christ without fear or shame.

🌍 The world is a HEAVY place, especially when we try to get through life on our own.

I’ve ALWAYS advocated for Mental, Physical, and SPIRITUAL well-being.

I’ve had the Physical part down since my teens, but the broken spiritual side has ALWAYS been the Achilles heel of my mental state.

I’m learning what it’s like to partner with God to live out my purpose on this Earth. I am here to help humanity HEAL.

💪 Gotta lead by example. Wouldn’t want it any other way.

🙌🏼 All praise to the MOST HIGH!
