The Pacific Northwest! Before coming to Seattle I didn't think highly of the city. My brother-in-law use to live here, and I knew a couple people from Seattle. I associated Seattle with cold and rainy, two of my least favorite things. The old saying would hold true yet again, "never judge a book by its … Continue reading WITR TOUR: Seattle, WA: The Pacific Northwest →

Lombard Street Quezt Brand What's your Quezt (“quest”)? My friend Que Byrd created a brand a few years ago that encourages people to share their story and embrace their journey.

I love the West Coast. The South will always be home, but I connect with the West Coast on a spiritual level. The versatility, the open mindedness, love, and laid-back nature are all ways the West Coast personifies who I am. When I arrived in LA on December 7, I was feeling anxious due to … Continue reading WITR TOUR- Los Angeles, CA: Enjoy the Ride →

The beginning of my self-proclaimed, “Wisdom In The Room Tour” started in my hometown of Winston-Salem, NC (“Tre-4” for those who call it home).  Simply put this is the city that helped raise me.  The week of Thanksgiving I went  home to spend … Continue reading WITR TOUR- Winston-Salem, NC: Thanksgiving →

During my football career, I would get really nervous before games. My mind would race as I visualized every play and scenario that could happen during the game. In some regards this helped me feel prepared when I stepped on the field, but it also led to overthinking about the things that could go wrong. … Continue reading 9/16/2020: Anxiety Man… →

There is a misconception that men are not supposed to express their emotions and when these awkward sensations rise up within us, we are to keep them hidden. Personally, I grew up being called a “crybaby” by my family and to a degree my tears were a little excessive. Those tears were not in vain, … Continue reading 9/10/2020: Feel No Ways… →

Last year something clicked in my mind. The relationship we have with our earthly father affects how we view God the Father. If you had a loving and present father, there is a strong chance you see God the same way. But what about if your father was absent or abusive? How does that affect … Continue reading 8/23/2020: God is Love… →
