Lost my dad at age 10. Raised by a single mom. The oldest of 3 boys. Delivered pizza at 13. Flipped burgers at McDonalds at 16. Childhood friends we balled with never made it to 18. Launched my first official company at 19- zero capital and no direct mentorship. Perceived to fail.
Society frequently reminds me that we were never supposed to make it this far. But then a voice consistently whispers within: “I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses” (Joshua 1:3). And then it suddenly dawns on me- we were sent to break generational curses fam. This isn’t about me, this is about us. We were commissioned to push an agenda forward. We were born to build legacies- and we’ve barely begun to scratch the surface. We are the missing piece of the enigma. Just apply faith and believe!
One thing is for certain though: We did not come this far to only come this far. Mashallah.
