And she's crying and she's crying and she says, how? She says, how can you love me? She said, after everything I have done to you, how do you love me? And I said, mom, you're my mom. You will always be my mom. See, life gets better if we choose to be the change. So when I'm graduating college, this is my thought process now of I want to be better and not bitter.

You know, I want I want to show my siblings that there's a better way that we can undo some of the lessons we learned in our childhood and not pass them on to the next generation. But so as I start to cross the stage, I start thinking, why me? Why do I get to make it? Why do I get to cross the stage when there's 1.6 million kids just like me at that time? Now there's 2.1 million kids like me.

We went in the wrong direction. I can't even tell you how, and that is horrible. But at that time, I was like, why do I get this opportunity? So I said, you know what? Before I use my business degree and go work in corporate America and be rich in my mind, I need to give back. I need to give back in honor of every person who would ever fed me, who would ever house me, who would ever clothe me.

And I'll do it for six months. And I'm going to live out of my car. And I'm going to drive from LA to Jacksonville, Florida. And I'm going to speak for free at any shelter organization, any place who would open up their doors. I'm going to find the kids. I'm going to tell them, don't give up. Life gets better. But you have to be here to see it. And so I started this journey.

And I dubbed it the Homeless by Choice Tour because I was homeless again. But this time it was my choice, not my situation, not my parents. It was my choice. So I started this Homeless by Choice Tour. And three months into it, I saw America through a lens that not very many people get to see. I saw how broken we are. And I said, I have to do more. I have to do more. I have to do more.

So I decided that instead of crossing the country for six months, I would live out of my car and I would circle the entire nation. And I was going to give myself a goal to reach at least 100,000 kids. I ended up living out of my car for two and a half years. No grants, no funders, a tour that ran me over $200,000, a money that I had to raise along the way. But I was able to reach over 108,000 kids.
