In his words:

"Sponsor blocked me 2 months into Uni. I cried, but God said “watch me work.” Now I’m a graduate and a small business owner with a 3-year-old brand doing well. What I thought was going to break me made me stronger. Now I am a graduate. Saw myself through school. Paid all my bills myself. A successful small business owner. Built a 3-year-old brand that's been doing well. Grace didn't just carry me. It grew me."
