I carry the dreams of where I come from and the fire for where I’m going.
In this photo, you see a young man, not defined by what he has, but by what he’s building.
Every step I take is for something bigger than me: a legacy of possibility, a seat at the table, and a reminder that I belong, not just here, but in every room I walk into.
This is more than a picture. It’s proof that hope lives here.
