As an aspiring collegiate and professional basketball player—and as a teenager navigating life— I’ve grown through countless experiences. Yet as a son, brother, friend, and member of my community, I recognize that there is still so much left to learn, grow from, and become. To me, the mental well-being of those around me is everything. Everyone carries battles that aren’t always visible, and I want to be someone who brings light into those moments of darkness. Through honesty, vulnerability, and shared experiences, my goal is to create a space where people feel seen, supported, and understood—because no one should have to face their challenges alone.
