“Every day, I wake up to the freedom that was once a distant dream, and it gives me the drive to 'pay it forward.'"
Through my journey from incarceration to societal reentry, I've cultivated invaluable skills. My mission is clear: to offer redemption and fresh starts to those in need.
As an advocate for second chances and community growth, Opportunity For a Better Life has been pivotal. This opportunity has empowered me to spearhead initiatives, dedicated to reducing recidivism and building brighter futures, from the ground up. “

"Each One Teach One"
Having spent 10 years incarcerated I understand how hard it is to come back into society and live a good life. I want to use my experiences to help other men and women live the lives we have always been meant to have. Education, Employment, Communication, Housing, Community, Faith and Dedication is what we need. OFBL has given me these resources and now I want to pay it forward.

"I believe everyone deserves a second chance."
That's why I'm proud to be a part of Opportunity For a Better Life. I help formerly incarcerated individuals gain valuable work skills and empower them to build successful lives as they reintegrate into society. Seeing their potential and resilience motivates me every day. I look forward to building on OFBL's mission to help even more people.
