I got started by sending money to my mother in<br />
Benin to use it to assist families and children in<br />
depressed situation in our community back<br />
home. One day she stumbled on a case that<br />
connected with saving the life of a young boy<br />
named Ezekiel who was discovered in the forest<br />
after spending 5 days without food and water<br />
and exposed to unsafe conditions. The money I<br />
sent that time was used to save his life by<br />
paying for his medical bills and from then I<br />
started sending money to take care of him<br />
particularly and investing in his education. That<br />
was the birth of this organization. The video is<br />
on the website.<br />
When did you st art your business and<br />

I started in 2013 and apply for the tax exempt<br />
status in 2015 in Tampa Fl.<br />
Why do you t hink having your ow n business<br />

It maybe your life?s calling and I think my<br />
business was my calling.<br />
How do you st ay focused and balanced w it h<br />
your business and everyday life?<br />
I stay focused and balanced by investing in<br />
taking care of myself. I realize that as a decision<br />
maker, therefore the driver of my organization I<br />
have to have great energy. To be able to<br />
produce great, positive and confident energy<br />
and influence people I have to have a healthy<br />
life style. I exercise, eat right and I make sure I<br />
laugh and have fun. My mind, body and spirit<br />
are priorities. In the course of impacting lives<br />
positively through my nonprofit, I have a very<br />
organized and elaborated agenda for every<br />
year. Our website is an online tool to receive<br />
application in order to qualify international<br />
organization to receive assistance from us. The<br />
students also go through an eligibility<br />
requirement system. We have only one annual<br />
fundraiser and committees are designed to<br />
perform particular tasks. This organization<br />
system and team work help me to focus and<br />
balanced my duties as the founder and acting<br />
chairman of this organization.<br />
What is one w ord t hat sum s you up?<br />
I think one word is not enough to sum me up. I<br />
am passionate and I am an executive. I get<br />
things done in an efficient manner. I am a<br />
wealth creator and I love to help people, lift<br />
them up, empower them and bring people<br />
vision into reality.<br />
