Money doesn’t make you better. It gives you leverage.
• The leverage to walk away from toxic environments.
• The courage to say NO to bad deals.
• The ability to handle emergencies without panic.
• The freedom to choose your path instead of being forced into one.
Happy September to everyone. Hope you're making the most out of this month. If you don’t have a plan, make self improvement and getting close to God, a priority.
Earlier this year, I raised $150,000+ for a project of Liberia’s First Lady.
Fundraising taught me one thing:
Research. Network. Build relationships. Present a compelling project.
The right people can change everything.
Money follows value. Relationships open doors.

Who will lead NOCAL oil? Ivanhoe mining? ArcelorMittal labs? BEA Mountain gold?
Foreigners keep taking top jobs because many Liberians lack qualifications in sciences & engineering.
We need MORE scholarships & incentives NOW.

Dec 7 last year, we launched Men Empowerment Initiative (MEI) w/ Mr. Rali Mampeule to restore men as leaders, providers & mentors.
Absent fathers = lost generations in Liberia. Kids in survival mode. Education (esp. STEM) ignored.

The Men Empowerment Initiative (MEI) believes that every man deserves a safe space to express, rebuild, and rise again. Because when a man finds peace within, his family, his work, and his community thrive.
This is personal to me.
Let’s talk. Let’s heal. Let’s rise — together

In order to deserve the best, you should be the best. Only God gave us His best whilst we were at our worst. You are NOT Jesus. Work on yourself.
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to show yourself approved unto God. A workman that needed not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth
