DO IT AFRAID!

DO IT AFRAID

“It’s amazing how we can allow fear to stop us from doing something simply by worrying about what COULD happen when NOTHING has happened at all.”

I have struggled with the fear of failure or the fear of letting others down or not meeting expectations! I have placed unrealistic expectations on myself and it has crippled me from moving forward on ideas because I’m scared about how bad things could go.

I always wonder and look back like, “man if only I pushed through that fear and anxiety…if only I did it anyways regardless of what people would say or think.”

I think the common misconception is that you shouldn’t be scared but reality is that you will fear something! And it’s in those moments that you have to decide: will you let fear overcome you or will you overcome it?

My hope with this drop is that you are encouraged to face your fears and, with ACTION, you will overcome those fears.

Like the Bible says, the weapons may be formed but they won’t prosper!

Go!
DO IT!

#FEEDOURBABIES #CAJITASDEAMOR

🍼👶🏻🍼

For parents of newborns like my wife and I, the news of the supply chain shortages have been very concerning. Finding empty shelves in stores across the country where you’d normally find dozens of options for infant formula can make you question a lot of things.

Every parent just wants their kid to be healthy as they grow. And for some children who are only fed through formula, these last few weeks have been scary. Counting up every can of powder or bottle of ready made formula to see how much you have left and hoping that your child doesn’t want to cluster feed or increase regular feeding amount faster than expected.

And then there’s parents who rely on very specific formula due to their child’s health concerns or what their insurance will cover. Or the parents who financially can’t afford to travel far distances to find what they need or even order online.

Needless to say these are unprecedented times. But we must #FeedOurBabies. We want them to grow into strong young men and women who will make something of themselves one day.

And you know how they say it takes a village to raise a child? Well that’s where my wife and I find ourselves right now. Connecting with our village and finding out about others who are in need. In the past week, while we were able to find what we needed for our son, we were also able to help 5 other families find what they need and even deliver or ship it to them.

So we’ve decided that we want to continue these efforts under the #CajitasDeAmor initiative where we worked alongside my mother and El Santuario church to donate items to those in need after tragic events.

At this time we’d like to gather information on those who are still in need. If you or someone you know is still looking to find infant formula of any kind, please contact us via email at iamunyc@gmail.com. Let us know where you are, what formula options you are looking for and roughly how much you need.

For those who would like to help with these efforts please also email us so we can keep you informed and reach out as we confirm needs.

Most importantly we ask that you pray for us and all families affected during this time.

A RANT ABOUT MY LLC ISSUES (PART 1) (VIDEO)

A RANT ABOUT MY LLC ISSUES (Pt. 1)

“When God places His dream in your heart, you become more determined and dedicated. You press on to see the work finished.”
🎞
This video is just a small part of my journey and so I’m sharing this for a few reasons:
🤷🏻‍♂️
• I felt like I made a big mistake during this situation. I was hard on myself because this error or lack of understanding is now going to be costly.
I hope that by watching this someone will learn from my missteps
🚶🏻‍♂️
• I want to share a bit of my journey/process as I take steps towards building a business or following my dreams
👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏻
• my wife actually encouraged me to document some moments of thought, struggle, frustration or success as a way to capture a moment that could be a lesson for myself or others who watch it
🎬
• I want to get comfortable on camera. I love taking pictures and video but I hate the sound of my voice lol (and I definitely need a haircut and shave lol)
👨🏻‍💼
• this video is not about my lawyer but rather about my part (or lack thereof) in doing my due diligence to research the options I had/have and really try to understand what’s best for the direction I’m going. (My lawyer is being very patient and helpful with me.)

🙏🏼
I don’t know who this video will help but I know I will look back at it later and see the growth and lessons I learned along the way.

No dream is ever realized without a huge measure of determination. And I am determined to see UNYC dreams come to life!
🙏🏼

"I’ve always been a connector of sorts..."

🤝 

The mission is to connect creatives to people/places where they can use their gifts to inspire others. Over the years I’ve carried that out in different ways. Whether it was helping put on events, getting an artist a gig or two, connecting like-minded individuals who would eventually collaborate on projects, help plan and talk through strategies for new ideas, etc. 

I’ve always been a connector of sorts. It’s what I’ve watched my family do in ministry and it’s what I’ve done in my professional career in Human Resources. I’ve always tried to see the best in others. I encourage them and nudge them to walk on the path of their purpose by helping them recognize their God given gifts.

I have learned a lot about myself and others. I have gained and lost friends. I have seen success and I have seen failure. 

But one thing I haven’t done is give up on the idea that when I believe in someone, I want to see them win and for God to bless them.

🙏🏼🙌🏼👍🏼

And that brings me to an exciting, first of many, collaboration with my friend and Artist Creative, Kelly Cruz of @kingandfolkco.

While she wears many hats like pastor’s kid, sister, aunt, military wife, mother of 3; this soft-spoken, Master’s Degree holding young woman is also a talented UNYC artist! I’m honored and grateful that she has allowed me to work on this with her. 

Give her a follow and check out her amazing work! We are excited to get this piece out to you all!
