Back to School: Ready to Learn, Grow and Thrive
Back to School: Ready to Learn, Grow and Thrive There is something special about the beginning of a new school year. It is nice seeing all the kids excited, looking fly, feeling confident and ready to thrive. When I was young, I always loved going back to school. I never wanted summer to end, but I looked forward to seeing everybody again, playing sports and making new memories. Now, it is amazing watching my own children and other students experience those same emotions. To

My 3 boys out here putting in work on the football field. 🏈💙
My 3 boys out here putting in work on the football field. 🏈💙 And yes, Angelo is officially playing football for the first time. I know many of you may be surprised or even question why he’s out there, especially knowing what he has been through. Angelo had brain surgery and was diagnosed with seizures and ADHD, so of course I had concerns about him playing football. But before anybody starts tripping on me 😂, this was HIS decision. He was persistent, kept asking, and even

Fatherhood never clocks out
Today I worked 12 hours. By the time I got home, I was tired and ready to shut everything down for the night. But being a father doesn’t work like that. Before I can really rest, I have to make sure my sons are good. One was already asleep when I checked on him, he was already knocked out after football practice. That’s when it hit me — we all had a long day. The other two were in their room too, but it was too dark to even take a picture. That moment made me think. A job has

Sometimes a Picture Speaks a Thousand Words… But I See Millions
Sometimes a Picture Speaks a Thousand Words… But I See Millions They say a picture speaks a thousand words, but sometimes the person behind the camera sees a million more.

Def Familia has never only been about taking care of your family. It’s about building around them, leading them, teaching them, and helping guide

Family, Basketball & a Moment My Boys Won’t Forget
Family, Basketball & a Moment My Boys Won’t Forget Today my boys and I went to spend some time with their Uncle Nass. We were just vibing, laughing, enjoying family time and making memories together. 🙏🏾❤️ Sometimes it’s the simple moments that mean the most. God is good. After leaving their uncle, I took the boys over to Moody Park. Of course, when we see a basketball court, we have to get some runs in 😂🏀. We played two games, had some fun, and let the boys hoop. After Mo

“My Glory Days Are Over — Now It’s About My Boys”
My boys and I went to visit my brother—their uncle—and spent some time with him. Before heading home, I took the boys to Moody Park, where we played two games. After that, we stopped at Halo Farm to grab some juices and ice cream. While we were waiting in line, I noticed this guy who looked familiar. I’ve seen him at almost every big basketball game around Trenton, especially high school games and over at Cadwalader Park. While I was paying, he walked up to my boys and asked,
