“I have received help and guidance from too many people to name just one. When we say with the community, for the community, it truly is just that. There have been so many people and entities that have contributed to our success and continue to do so.”

“The best advice I would give to someone going through a tough time is to never let someone else define you. Take control of your story and write it the way you want. Things will always improve. Nothing stays bad forever unless you allow it and you can always find a way to be Cooler Than Average!” -

“What changed was how I viewed myself. I changed how I viewed my entire situation. I went from “I don’t know how I am going to do what I need to do” to “I am going to learn what I need to learn and then I am going to implement it.”

“I have faced failure MANY times during my journey and I still do - I still struggle at times!  I, like everyone else, have moments when I have to check myself and kick myself in the butt to get into the gym on days I don’t want to. I like to remind myself that your discipline must be greater than your motivation - ALWAYS. Nobody is motivated every single day 24/7/365. Not even the biggest and buffest bodybuilders in the world. It is just not practical. However, you can choose to make an excuse or you can choose to show up for yourself and your goals. THAT is called discipline - THAT is what is important.” -

“I could not believe how I could I feel so good, but have my body fail me. I continued to ask myself why this happened and never came to a conclusion. Sometimes we don’t know why certain events happen to us. What I do know is that by staying positive through life’s challenges it will guide you toward accepting life’s uncertainties.”

“Throughout all of this I realized that God had a different plan and purpose for my life than I initially thought, so then I started working everyday to fulfill my purpose. I became more optimistic and that became my everyday fuel! Instead of being depressed and looking at myself as a failure I started to take my life back in every aspect! Everyday I wake up and keep going, because I know people are looking up to me and if I give up it’s not only giving up on myself, but I would also be giving up on so many others, especially my son.” - Sabri Thompson

“Initially diagnosed as Stage One breast cancer, I elected to undergo radical surgery on my birthday August 10th and this all took place in 2011. This surgery required breast mastectomy, removal of bottom abs as well as reconstruction. As if all this were not enough, shortly thereafter I was informed that the cancer was spreading quickly and I probably wouldn’t make it to my five-year mark, which was June 2016. Between the time I found the lump and had surgery, the cancer went from Stage One to Stage Three and almost four. My survival rate went from 92% to 19%. Happy Birthday to me!” - Kesia Ellis
