I am excited to be taking the stage at @advertisingweek NY this year to discuss the disability disconnect in the advertising and marketing industry today. Join me tomorrow, 10/10 at 1pm with @eddiendopu and @lsallata. #awnewyork24 #FLY shorturl.at/nDToT
And these 👟 don’t do the collection justice. Check out some of my favs though 💪🏾 #sneakerhead #kicks #jordans #jumpman #blindathlete %teamusa
Just added another pair of kicks to the collection! 👟 this pair has significance because they’re designed for Dan Mancina, a skate boarder who just so happens to be blind. Check em out…and thanks to @airaio for the description of the shoes! #adidas #kicks #sneakerhead
If you have #Peacock, tune in to #ParaTrials24! This is our qualifying competition to see who goes to Paris. I'll be out there Saturday so you better definitely tune in then! #FLY

This is my man @LexGillette and he is an absolute legend. I have the upmost respect for him, his guide, and his team. We all make mistakes, this particular one just happened to be televised. He got back up, and kept going. The world needs more of that.
