My Story
Growing up in Southeast Washington, D.C., amidst a bustling community, I witnessed firsthand the harsh realities of poverty, homelessness, drug addiction, and mental health issues. These experiences deeply touched my heart and compelled me to
take action. Little did I know that some of these very challenges would eventually find their way into my own life.
​
Reflecting upon my journey, I now realize the profound significance of the question my grandmother posed to me as a child: “How can you lead someone from a place you've never been?” This query has become the guiding force behind my purpose.
​
My ultimate aspiration is to shatter the confines of traditional norms and revolutionize the landscape of religion in people's lives. I believe that tradition often attempts to mimic God, while religion often leaves us trapped in endless cycles, preventing us from attaining a genuine connection with the divine.
​
Drawing from my personal struggles and transformative experiences, I am dedicated to sharing my story and helping others find their path to a brighter future. It is through this amalgamation of youthful encounters, and a divine calling, that Wounded Men at Ground Zero came into existence—a testament to the power of healing and growth.
