"I was raised by a single, strong Black Queen who did double duty as mother and father. I learned what I thought was how to be a man from other disenfranchised Brothers who were fatherless in one of the nation's most notorious "hoods'. My first friend was murdered when I was age 10. Little did I know that me staying alive would be an anomaly. My why is simple. If I can help young Brothers not go through the same trials and tribulations that young Korbey had to go through, I am 100% invested. If I can break down barriers and dismantle the opportunity gaps put in front of young Brothers, I am 100% vested in IYT's vision and mission to do just that! "
