IMPACT

“My father told me I was nothing and that I would never become anything. I believed for the longest time until I heard you speak. When you said, “you can't allow someone else’s negativity do dictate your life. Like everyone else, you too can be destined for greatness”, it really spoke to me. So I’m going to listen and keep those words close with me. I’m going to stop letting people decide me future.”
