A Personal Letter

Before You See the Man
He Is Today…

Written by his daughter — for every person who needs to hear this story

April 2026
This is my dad.
"Before you see the man he is today,
you need to understand where he came from…"

He grew up in a life most people couldn't survive.

His brother was murdered.
His dad went to prison.
And by 11 years old…
he was already addicted to cocaine.
Most people would have become a product of that environment.
He didn't.

He found faith. He changed everything. He became the man who would go on to raise me.

But his story doesn't stop there…

At one point, he was literally buried alive.

For 30 minutes, he fought to stay conscious — breathing in dirt, refusing to die. And in that moment, it was his faith, his transformation, and his decision to never quit that kept him alive.

That same strength is who he is every single day.

And now… he's telling his story so other people can see what's possible — even when life tries to bury you.

I wouldn't be here without his grit.
Without his faith.
Without his refusal to give up.

I am so proud to be your daughter. I love you, Dad. 🫶🏼

you need to hear his."
