I hope my legacy will be one of love and of passion/vision. I always hope that I’m known for the way I love people and also the way I use my God given talents of creativity. It’s truly what I believe I was put here on this earth to do. I think sometimes those things even get to overlap whenever I get to help others with their creative ideas or share what I’ve learned so far with other people. And those moments warm my heart.

Permanent. I hope and pray my legacy is permanent and fruitful for everyone connected to me. My social media handle Thee Conglomerate was not created by chance, but by design.
