who is brian
He had to quickly learn to manage countless hospitalizations, kidney dialysis, and heart failure, while counseling and educating students amidst achieving his greatest goals of double Masters degrees, becoming a licensed therapist and pastor, and getting married.
After nearly flatlining twice and receiving a kidney that resuscitated his life, Brian at the age of 33 for the next five years forged a new path of resilience and intentionality by starting a family, sharing his miraculous story, developing students, and growing his psychotherapy business. Not long later did he receive a new diagnosis of Avascular Necrosis, the slow bone death of his leg joints.
Brian understands resilience.
Diagnosed with a form of Lupus at the age of 23 and for the next ten years battling Stage 6 Lupus Nephritis,
Brian entered into fatherhood in 2022, and now has two boys, Kyrie and Romelo, with his beautiful wife Ebonnye of 8 years. His family gives him such pride and joy. He chooses to be an active husband and dad despite presently navigating the chronic pain.
Nevertheless, Brian continues to literally walk by faith and inspire students, immunocompromised individuals, and young people alike to strive for their highest goals, accumulate mental wealth, and never let any condition, human, or mindset prevent them from becoming B.A.D. - Brave, Authentic, & Dangerous.
