If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to?

If I had a million dollars to give away, I’d start with my four kids. I’d take half and split it between them — not just as a gift, but as an investment in their future. I want them to have the tools, wisdom, and opportunities to build something meaningful, something lasting.

Next, I’d pour into The Descendants of Kings Foundation, because it represents everything I stand for — resilience, rebuilding, and restoring hope in those who’ve faced life’s hardest battles.

And with what’s left, I’d invest in an entrepreneur with real potential — someone who just needs a break to grow, to hire, and to help others find work. Because when you empower one person with purpose, you don’t just change their life… you strengthen the entire community.

  • When Is the Right Time to Pull Out… How Long Are We to Take Abuse?
    Sometimes patience turns into pain. Watching Shedeur Sanders stay quiet through his benching feels like seeing someone trapped in a relationship that no longer serves them. This post explores how to recognize when loyalty becomes self-neglect — and the courage it takes to walk away with respect.
  • Stephen A. Smith Wasn’t Wrong — He Was Asking the Right Questions
    When accountability feels like betrayal, real progress becomes impossible. Stephen A. Smith recently called out Rep. Jasmine Crockett for constantly attacking Trump — and instead of discussing his point, people tried to cancel him. But is he wrong? In this post, I break down why the culture of outrage is holding us back, why groupthink isn’t progress, and why it’s time to stop barking and start building.

  • Growth, Consistency, and Execution
    What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself? This year, the hardest personal goal I set was to close 3 to 5 big deals — not just for the money, but for what it represents: growth, consistency, and execution. It’s one thing to talk about goals, but it’s another to commit to them… Read more: Growth, Consistency, and Execution
  • You Want a Sneak Peak of the Documentary I’ve Been Working on?
    After 28 years of wrongful imprisonment, Clarence Moses-EL emerged as a symbol of resilience and injustice in America’s legal system. His story exposes the deep flaws that destroy lives and the unbreakable spirit it takes to reclaim freedom after decades lost behind bars. Justice delayed, but not denied.

    I’d start with families struggling to make ends meet, because no one should have to choose between food and rent. I’d want every dollar to remind someone they’re seen, valued, and not alone.
