Testimonials
I wanted to express my SINCEREST thanks for allowing me to be a part of last week’s B.O.S.S event. I cannot tell you how wonderful it feels to share the little bit of knowledge and passion I have with young folks… Especially when you know they have the same dreams and aspirations that I once had. It’s what paying it forward as a man of color is supposed to be about.
Please let me know if you’ll be coming back down here to L.A. LIVE so I can have the group tour the Zone. I’m sorry we didn’t get a chance to do it this time around but it’s an open invitation. And please keep me posted if you have any other opportunities like this which I can be a part of in the future. I’m ready and willing to help out where needed.

It was a joy and pleasure to pour into the lives of our youth. As I told some of them, what you will do will pave the way for my daughter. It is a program that deserves repeating.
