I posted my testimony on my Facebook and Instagram account the day I left LA. I will post what I wrote below the video. I’ve only been in Hong Kong for 36 hours and I’ve received an overwhelming amount of love and support from my family and peers. You have no idea what it means to me to know that I am having such a grand effect on so many people. I am reduced to tears a lot and I’m not a CRYER! I wanted to share my thoughts and feelings with you to show my appreciation and gratitude for all of the kind words and love I’ve received. I hope it inspires you! P.S. Video footage and blog post from my trip will be coming very very soon!

I quit my job January 15th. I could no longer put in hella hours for somebody other than myself. I treated myself to a trip to Maui and figured out what my passion was. Inspire other young people to travel the world and follow their dreams. Seeing the world will change your life! My homie @coolasbritton took me to one church international, where Pastor Toure preached “you must sacrifice for your amazing” For some reason that was the trigger that set my life on fire. Had I not heard the word I wouldn’t be where I am. God has shown the kid so much favor. I went back to the bay broke my lease packed up my place and was down to be a gypsy till I could get a spot making money doing what I loved. Shout out to @marcel127 and rashad for holding me down and keeping my stuff, love yall! Shout out to my ride or die @picturethisvic for opening her home to me. Like smh you have no idea how much you’ve helped me in this process. Like no words! S/O to @johnelbarron an awesome life coach! He brought my dreams out the clouds and told me what I had to do to make it real…. cantstayput was born. Sitting on Vic’s couch. I said I wanted to go to Asia for a month. Like wtf lol Asia! No job, no house, no money, but I wanted to go to Asia. Shout out to all my side hustles and support from friends that helped me during this process. I love my nephews but I was earning my keep in NYC helping out. Nanny Lomillie lol when they say you really must live like most won’t smh lol I’ve only seen two episodes of scandal, can count on my hands how many times I’ve slept in a bed in the past few months, I’ve gone shopping in my own clothing in storage lol. To all the homies who either bought me a drink, fed me to editing press releases to just saying I’m proud of you. I thank you soooo much! To my investors that made this possible thank you! When you make up your mind about something anything is possible. Show God how much you’re willing to sacrifice and he’ll show up. I promise! Keep me prayed up y’all! I’m headed to Asia! First stop Hong Kong!

    This was wonderful to listen to & watch….God is definitely amazing! I was watching a ton of TD Jakes & it’s amazing how God will make us “uncomfortable” in an area, so we will be forced to live out our dreams. I’m so proud of you and happy for you as well. I think seeing you do what you love, really helps us visualize it alot easier and faster for ourselves. I’ve had the explorer bug for a while, but I wasn’t living in it. God is definitely pushing me more and I appreciate tools like this that help me see someone else do it & reach back to push others to do it. I need these pushes. Thank you for sharing your journey!

      Thank you so much! I’m telling you, when you are uncomfortable you have no choice but to make moves. The struggle is just another sign that God loves you! But really thank you for your kind words. You have no idea what it means to me:)

    Lo, you are amazing! Nice to see your ‘hard shell’ break! I love you for this! You and my Ed Rocker are truly extrordinary people! You have inspired me to just jump into this world and follow my own dreams to travel. You are so blessed and I wish you nothing but the best! May God bless you and keep you on your journey[s]. šŸ˜‰
