Who We Are

Ever since I was young, I found bliss in having a hand in constructing others joy. To be able to provide a need for someone going through tough times and spreading God’s blessing to touch many raises my spirit. This persistent pull to help others seems to be innate in my nature whether it was holding open a door for my Grammy or sharing my lunch at school with a friend that did not have one. I have endured pain and struggles which have allowed me to grow and understand others sufferings. I have started this foundation to simply share the blessings that I have been given from God with the rest of the world.

I have been captivated and bound to the vision of Hour Generation Foundation through it's founder and his passion for seeking wisdom of what is needed to bring about change. There is an unspoken energy within the foundation that has drawn together a group of individuals with one mission. The desire to help others has been cultivated into a movement that I take great pride in being a part of. Each member has a personal mission to help people in need and to improve circumstances for others from a deep understanding that a small impact makes a big difference. In my heart service is a gift that is returned two-fold because it heals from the inside out.

In Nelson Mandela’s inaugural speech he shared that our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. The Hour Generation Foundation Board, at its core, has a heart for providing services at an elevated level that makes our guests and recipients feel like one family. I have been graced with the desire to share my skills and expertise to support the organization’s mission. It is electrifying to be a part of such a positive movement founded by a Millenial with a pure vision to make a sustainable impact and influence change in the community.

I have always had a desire to give back to the community. Growing up as one of seven children, I consistently watched my parents make sacrifices for my brothers and me. Hour Generation Foundation has afforded me the chance to grant and provide opportunities to individuals and their families.

I’ve always been a person who tries to make a difference in people’s lives everyday. Whether it’s the person on the corner, or the person in front of the store. So, when I heard about the Mission of HGF I said “I have got to be a part of that”! I like to make a difference and an impact in people’s lives and that’s what we do at HGF.

There is a proverb that says "A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed". The reason that I choose to serve as a board member for HGF is to use my time, talents, and gifts to see those who are in need refreshed as their burdens are lifted. The law of reciprocity allows for me to be "refreshed" as well.
