"Growing up in New Orleans, I was faced with many challenges that may have turned out badly had I not learned some valuable lessons along the way. As a youth I was exposed to multiple neighborhoods that were poverty stricken, drug infested, and filled with violence. Fortunate enough, I was able to attend some of the best schools in the community at this time. Even then, challenges arose; I was forced to deal with the injustice of the world at an early age. This was truly a gift and a curse. Being able to understand how to navigate as a minority was one of the most valuable lessons along the way. All of these circumstances caused many challenges that somehow turned into stepping-stones. This also was a driving factor that motivated me to want to be an inspiration to others who may have the same challenges. My goal and passion is to help individuals in my community blossom and become everything they are destined to be despite all the day to day challenges of the world."

The purpose of this organization is to be a resource to the community through teaching life skills, mannerism and basic fundamental structural skills especially through communication skills. This organization was created to teach fundamental athletic sports training, promote positivity, encourage, direct and operate programs for children and youth ages (4-18).

Our approach, and our program is built upon what has worked in other communities but tailored to the unique needs of New Orleans-area youth which were born to parents who have suffered trauma through Hurricane Katrina and now Covid-19. The parents of our target audience have experienced unimaginable trauma and do not have the tools or supports to effectively guide and prepare their children for college and career.

The ultimate goal is to be able to teach ethics in life and identify respect. Kids respect when they feel respected, but often they feel as though no one cares and the disrespect is risen.

Positive Minds Positive Movement FAST Academy will display respect and make it a habit to the community through consistent genuine motivation and positivity.

This program will expose fundamental achievement success training which are keys to a successful lifestyle through mentoring and motivating.

We have been actively pouring into kids’ lives for over a decade, by instilling leadership principles through athletics. With the right coaching and environment, student athletes learn life essential skills that are carried on into adulthood. By personal development, coaching and motivational support, a player’s opportunity soars.
