"Greatness Comes From Small Beginnings"
My Childhood
When I was 12
When I lived in the Bronx I was always told that I was a bright kid. I never knew what that meant but I knew I always loved making new friends. Now if I told my younger self that I created a platform to empower others, I would be surprised.
Why not?
Use my Voice
Fast forward, I started taking my mental health serious. I realized the people around me were only a reflection of myself, and I wasn't perfect but something needed to change. Helping people has been my passion yet overextending myself isnt good for me. I started The Rally Cry podcast in 2022 with my best friend and the rest became history.
I challenged myself
Left for 10 Days
Throughout the ups and downs I decided to sign up for a silent retreat to challenge myself. No books, no electronics, just me. It was tough to be in my own thoughts, I cried, I gained clarity, and most of all I gained the understanding of how to reach peace.
Bigger than me
I Created Enough Said
Even with the podcast I knew the people needed more than just that. Eventually the idea came to me to create a communication card game to help people crreate more meaningful conversations. I came across a my very first pitch contest at EforAll where I then was awarded for first place. This gave me the believe this is my purpose, to connect.
Took the Pivot
I Graduated
I ended up double majoring from construction management to Psychology and then pursued my Masters in Social Work. I became the first in my family to receive my Masters. Although college has taught me the foundations, I've been encouraged to build my own philosophies.
making impact
Bigger than Me
Currently, I continue to connect the peices to make the world better than I found it. Wither thats through workshops, community initiatives, or helping those shift perspective to help live at their greatest potential. Let's remember, the sky is not our limit, it's our point of view.
