2007 - I was 25 five years old. No high school diploma or college education. Part time job making $200 a week. Extremely depressed.. Anyway, DMX gave me the confidence to quit my job without having another lined up. Number 18 - The Convo. It means a lot to me and I’m sad he’s gone.

“Two sets of footsteps, I was right beside you there

But what about them times I only saw one

Those were the times that I was under the gun

It was then I carried you my son”

For me personally, the value of each pair we give is like a one million dollar direct deposit into my soul - yesterday we gave out 125 pairs. I’m feeling rich! #havAsole

Our Asian Community is under attack and has been for quite some time. Their stories and headlines are now being made more public and I feel incredible sadness that I personally was unaware. An Instagram post doesn’t do it justice but I promise I will stand with you in the name of love and what’s right.

“Dream it, do it!” This time last year we were

“Dream it, do it!” This time last year we were on our eighth #havAsole road trip. We were able to visit the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis. Standing outside the museum where Dr. King was shot dead was a very surreal feeling.

There is so much to learn and so much to teach about black history. As long as we’re learning, we’re growing.

365 days ago we all woke up to some devastating news. Kobe, his daughter and seven others had passed. This happened one week before our 8th havAsole road trip. We felt that it was necessary to honor Kobe in some way. We made the decision to extend our trip from Chicago to Philly and give 8 special pairs to the community there. We even had the opportunity to meet the entire varsity team from Kobe’s high school. Let’s all find ways to love each other with that Mamba Mentality.

In light of all the madness going on today, we still had a job to do. Team #havAsole and the @wattsskillsacademy dropped off a pair of sneakers to this young man. It is our biggest size to date. He is 16 and size 22. These were super hard to find! Huge thanks to our friend Josh over at the @pacers for tracking these @nike’s down and sending them our way!

Just want to thank everyone for their prayers and donations. My older brother has been in and out of the hospital for the last three weeks. He is going home today - although this is great, we still have to pay very close attention to his health. Your continued love and support is very much appreciated.

Not the news I like to share with the havAsole community. My older brother has spent the last two weeks in and out of the hospital with very complicated health conditions. We need your help. Can you please contribute any amount to my Mothers Facebook Fundraiser? I have added the link to our bio in case you can.
