I’m here today to introduce a new documentary series I’m working on called Aspire to Inspire. If you’ve been following me, you know I’ve been saying this for quite some time. But I feel like now more than ever it’s time to take that quote up a notch. I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Stomach Cancer last year and it’s something no person should have to go through, but life happens.

My goal with this new series is to just inspire others with HOPE. Let me be your neighborhood HOPE dealer and slang this HOPE, lol. No but seriously, I want to change the world and touch as many lives as possible! Life is so precious and our mind is so powerful, it just needs a spark.

I ran a DTG print company with my best friend Brett (thank you for the ATI logo) and we are closing up shop and now I’m sitting on some garments…about 1,000 pieces! All brand new blanks with no prints. My goal is to partner up with an organization and give these away to those in need. I’ll be making some calls in the next few days to a few organizations I had in mind to collaborate with and hopefully we can get something together and change some lives for the better.

I would love to do something with other cancer patients. I know how difficult and mentally draining it can get losing all that weight during treatment. I’ve lost over 50lbs myself and still struggling to build that weight back up. But it’s okay, it will be okay. I don’t want you to worry about buying clothes only for it to not fit anymore the following week. If I can save you a few dollars then so be it.

Please help me spread the word and get some eyes on this campaign. This is all real-time, happening now. Aspire to inspire. Let’s spread some HOPE together.

Thank you and God bless!

Right now I’m posted up in front of the crib watching the kids play on their new water slide and vibing to some Tems. It’s about 90 degrees and the sun will begin to set soon. When my day ends beautifully like this I like to reflect. Today’s reflection is about family. Yes I know, this will be a Vin Diesel moment, hahah. Ever since my cancer diagnosis I’ve noticed friends come and go and even distant themselves from me. Everyone deals with things different, in which I understand. I know my life is heavy as is so I don’t expect the world to bow down to me. What I do love is how my family has become closer and stronger than ever. I pray with my mom every morning at 9:30am, I see my dad nearly every day, and my sis has always picked up on the first call whenever I needed her.

It’s been a busy 24 hours. I’ve been helping my sister more with her business (Char-Koo) and it’s been dope as hell. Anything to keep my mind busy these days. My sister launched her charcuterie business at the height of COVID and it has grown tremendously, we launched our family private label (Kunye Wine) and now she has expanded her business into floral arrangements. My sister wears many hats, not only is she managing her own businesses but she is also a full-time Principal at the number 1 high school in DC, Friendship Prep Tech. Talk about aspire to inspire! Did I mention she is also a full-time mom?

I’ve always looked up to my big sis growing up, even taught myself how to ride a bike when I was 4 just so I can follow her and her fiends around the neighborhood, lol. During the past 24 hours I had the chance to just talk with my sister and learn more on her goals and the hurdles she has faced as a black/korean female in this hospitality industry. Our conversations ranged from task management, community support and coping with stress when under pressure. My sister has a lot of damn drive and the hunger for more. It’s been unbelievable to witness in person. And the community support she has behind her is phenomenal.

I love seeing a brand grow, especially organically, and I’ll always root for the home team. But when it’s your sister, your family, it hits different. Just wanted to put the spotlight on her and just say how proud I am to see her continued growth. I can’t wait to see what God blesses her with next. Let’s keep it going and get this farm/acres next!
