Today I Launched My Campaign—Imperfectly, But Right on Time
Today, I officially launched my campaign to donate 50,000 Generational Wealth Kits to HBCU Day 1 Students and Alumni across the country.
The truth is—I’ve been dreaming about this campaign since February. I’ve been carrying it in my heart, mapping out every detail in my mind. I created a list of nearly 100 people who said they’d support on Day 1. I imagined the momentum, the press, the ripple effect—how we might even go viral and inspire 50,000 people over time to help ensure that HBCU students and graduates get access to the wealth-building tools we were never taught.
But life rarely unfolds the way we plan.
I was supposed to have a full video rollout. A series of polished posts. A step-by-step launch strategy. Instead, life got in the way—as it often does. And despite everything that didn’t go as planned, I showed up anyway.
Because May 7th wasn’t just any day—it was launch day. And I held myself accountable to that.
So no, the launch wasn’t perfect. But it was perfecting. It reminded me that this campaign isn’t about perfection—it’s about purpose, and persistence.
As my night comes to an end, we didn’t reach 100 donors—but we did reach four amazing ones. And those three are helping us donate 15 Generational Wealth Kits. It’s not 100. But it’s not 0. And for that, I am deeply thankful.
I’m building something for us. For our future. For Black and Brown students who deserve more than debt after graduation. Who deserve tools, support, and knowledge to build wealth—not just survive.
So here we go. We’ve launched. Not perfectly, but powerfully.
Let’s get these kits into the hands of 50,000 students and alums. Let’s make generational wealth a reality, one kit at a time.
If you’re with me, please consider being one of the first to donate, share, and spread the word. This is just the beginning.
