From Statistic to Success!
From Statistic to Success!
I was told I was another statistic born and raised in the hood of Hiram Clarke, TX. Instead of going to Jr Hight I was sent to juvenile. Regardless of the countless messages of being passenger on the school to prison pipeline I knew my pass would not define my future. It was difficult to fight the systematic cycle designed to institutionalize juveniles minds destroy their self-esteem, and derail their dreams.
After completing my Bachelor's of Science(B.S.)in Criminal Justice with a major in pre-law and completing dual Master’s in legal studies with a minor in Political Science at Kentucky Christian University I co-created the Wealthy Made Investments cooperative focused on rescuing others from the pipeline by providing the economic tools needed to be successful.
We are leading the revolution and introducing a new culture through our partnerships with multiple independent school districts in the Houston area. We are excited to bring a sample of our Modern Day Financial Liberation enrichment program to the YIIP program on the Second Saturday of April 2023.
