As many of you know, our family has officially moved back to Cleveland.
Garfield Heights will always be our second home. It’s where our journey took root and where many residents supported and encouraged my boys from the beginning. We are truly grateful for that.
As our work grew, it became clear we needed an environment where opportunity, collaboration, and positive change are truly supported. Especially, when it involves young people. Cleveland is that place! Since we were already working and receiving strong support here, it only made sense to fully shift our focus. This does not mean we are leaving Garfield Heights behind. It simply means Cleveland is now our primary focus, just as Garfield once was. While assisting surrounding cities. We will continue serving our customers, loving our supporters, and helping out whenever possible.
As young black men going against the stereotypes, committed to community service and leadership, they deserve spaces where their work is valued, their voices are heard, and their efforts are embraced not just by residents but certain levels of leadership too.
We hope our experience in Garfield Heights helps pave the way for other young people who choose to step up—so their voices are heard, their efforts supported, and their work encouraged as they bring awareness and change.
The more we brought awareness to issues like litter, the more resistance it seemed to create, instead of it being understood as a shared responsibility. It was taken as personal attacks. Litter belongs to ALL OF US, and working together is key to keeping our streets clean.
Every challenge taught a lesson. Real leadership is not about titles.
In Cleveland, there’s no place like it—there’s a real difference here. We’ve experienced real partnership, collaboration, and people willing to build together. Real support for efforts lead by youth! And have been embraced in various departments. Nothing but love is all we’ve ever received from this administration and that’s all we have to pour into the city! And surrounding areas who share our values and mission to uplift neighborhoods. ❤️
