## Caption

I always put God first in my life. Growing up as a young black man without a father was not easy, but I never asked for pity. I had a whole tribe of people who loved me and guided me towards being who i am today, but I still had gaps and pieces missing . That’s why I value the community so much and why I do my best to help anyone I can in any way I can. As Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” #blessed #grateful #JuneTeenth #FathersDay #givingback #GreaterPurpose texaslegends thrivent harvey.foundation dallas__community
