There are a lot of things to believe in. You better be one of them.

I was a first gen college student. I learned the college stuff in college. I learned the real world stuff from Mr. Preston. My suggestion is to get the book. Period.

You have to PARTICIPATE IN YOUR OWN RESCUE

You can’t just cross your fingers and hope it works out.

From my college apartment, I started my first million-dollar business because I needed money for diapers and getting a steady job wasn't as much fun as wondering where our next meal was coming from. I am a Florida A&M University Presidential Scholar. My literary work was featured in the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture–the largest of its kind in the world. But you better believe I didn’t always get it right. I would like to say that I have regrets, but it would neither change the course of my past, nor be true. I’ve made enough mistakes for all of us. I wrote Intentional Ascension so that you will be able to avoid most of them - on purpose.

My students loved Mr. Preston’s book. We purchased a case of books for students to share. Several of the books grew legs and we had to order another set. I’m not sure how I feel about the missing books, but that has never happened before. Lol.

Where you are today is in direct relationship to what you did or did not do in the past. Where you are in 10 years will be a result of the same.


Do not question that there is a reason we are here together for this season of your life. That's just the way it works.
