I can’t afford to be poor, that’s why I hustle twice as hard. Poverty is not motivational to me, it’s traumatic. I know where I’m coming from, and I know how bad things can get when money is not there.

Nobody gave me handouts. No godfather. No soft landing. It has been me waking up, failing, standing up, and pushing again. Alone.
