I lost my cousin as a result of intimate partner violence and decided I didn't want to see that happen to anyone else and decided to start an agency dedicated to protecting and decreasing risk factors for people.

thing that helps me get up every day especially during a hard day when I have somebody who comes to me and say hey you saved my life hey I didn't think I could finish school hey you know I started this business seeing their victories is what keeps me motivated if someone's listening and they're feeling stuck right now and they're in one of those situations can you give us give them some tips how do they start this focus on

Thanks, Ruby, for having me.

I appreciate it.

So I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio.

My mom then raised me in Atlanta, Georgia.

And then I decided to move to Akron, Ohio.

So in that course of moving, I did not prepare well.

I trusted the wrong friend and I ended up homeless.

Me and my young son, he was four.

And from there, I rebuilt my life and started going to school, lost my cousin as a result of intimate partner violence and decided I didn't want to see that happen to anyone else and decided to start an agency dedicated to protecting and decreasing risk factors for people.

So the system that we have right now, I'm working with Daymond John, Grant Cardone, Mikey Edwards, Montana Love, and also Ted Ginn to help make sure that we're able to impact teens and adolescents to have lives where they're protecting themselves before it becomes an issue.

And with that program, we're also helping their parents and couples.

Oh, it feels amazing.

Like, it's a thing that helps me get up every day, especially during a hard day when I have somebody who comes to me and say, hey, you saved my life.

Hey, I didn't think I could finish school.

Hey, you know, I started this business.

Seeing their victories is what keeps me motivated.

So they come to me overwhelmed, many things on their to-do list or just trying to figure out how to organize their thoughts.

So sometimes we just spew everything out and then we sift through it and figure out what's going to be the most effective, the most efficient and develop a plan from there.
