OUR STORY

At the core of my journey lies an incredible revelation that resulted in Livin' The Dream International being created. This organization came into being based on personal experiences and a genuine desire for change.

Growing up, I witnessed first-hand how poverty affected families within my community. It quickly became evident that unrealized potential wasn't due to a lack of ambition but rather from needing more necessary resources and information. Facing similar struggles inspired a deep resolve to drive meaningful transformation.

Starting my life out in the world, it quickly became evident how our educational system fails to provide adequate financial literacy. This realization hit home as I discovered myself struggling after college amidst massive debt, poor credit ratings, and the incapability of managing finances effectively despite earning my degree. It made it very apparent just how little preparation there is available in financial education to navigate today's complex world without proper preparation and tools available to me.

Livin' The Dream International emerged out of this realization. Holistic financial education provided the missing link that enabled individuals to rise above adversity. Thus the organization emerged as a platform of empowerment driven by its belief that equipping people with practical money management skills could make dreams possible and transform communities from within.

Livin' The Dream International emerged out of my journey's culmination. My personal experience of financial turmoil, lessons learned, and unwavering optimism through obstacles all played an essential part. Our organization empowers individuals to overcome financial hurdles while nurturing community businesses to flourish; with these goals in place, we are relentlessly changing poverty narratives while reigniting dormant dreams.

Livin' The Dream International is a beacon for personal and collective progress, leaving behind a lasting legacy of prosperity for future generations. Resilience, empowerment, and an unshakable belief that dreams can come true are hallmarks of resilience that characterize this story of personal and collective success.
