Honored is an understatement...
I'll certainly have more to say in the upcoming weeks, but I had to share that I'm truly grateful to the School of Sport, Tourism and Hospitality Management at Temple University for inducting me into Temple University's Gallery of Success!
I never expected to be chosen for something like this... I've just done my best to represent the school well and to utilize the life skills I learned from 2002-2008 back in Vivacqua Hall.
Yes... 6 years, so a super, super senior I suppose 🤷🏾 all undergrad. It took that long because I paid my own way through. There was plenty of help along the way from my parents, grandparents and family (Oscar Gamble wrote/co-wrote at least 3 of my papers!), but the grind of working 4 jobs, living independently and maintaining a respectable GPA was a catalyst in shaping who I am today (it wasn't quite 3.0 but it was close :-) .
THANK YOU JW Montague for your guidance and support over the years, it's invaluable and I'm grateful to have you in my circle (a lot of those life skills were from you!)
I'll get to some much needed Thank Yous later to those who've helped my in corporate career with the Brooklyn Nets and during my entrepreneurial life since, as Rebel Hill Consulting, but for now, sticking with the Temple Owls love!... (and I'm busy af, gotta get back to work :-)
Thanks y'all!
