What drove me was not ease or comfort, but the challenges that tested my spirit, the moments that tried to break me, and the obstacles that could have stopped me—but didn’t. What made me stronger were the trials that forced me to lean deeper into faith, to innovate when doors closed, and to build even when resources were scarce. I refused to give up when life said no.   God gave me hope when my strength ran out. Failures gave me a powerful springboard to greater purposes.     Out of these experiences, powerful stories were born. Stories not only of survival, but of transformation. And this is why I share: so that others may see themselves in my journey, find hope in their struggles, and rise to create their own story of strength, faith, and vision.
