The Konnection embodies the essence of my childhood: support, love, attention, fun, and excitement. With a solid family foundation, I aim to extend these blessings to every child I encounter. Their happiness and well-being are the driving force behind The Konnection.

I have a heart for our Kommunity -- I can't abandon where I grew up..."
I'm born and raised in Detroit. I had a great childhood but longed for the day I could make an impact. Programming for the Konnection has been a dream come true. Seeing our kids excel after our programs is a joy.
