My journey—from homelessness at 16 to global finance and real estate—has shaped the foundation of this organization.

Born and raised in Long Beach, California, my journey—from experiencing homelessness at 16 to building a career in finance and real estate—has been shaped by resilience, faith, and a deep belief that access creates opportunity.

I became the first in my family to attend college, graduating at the top of my class despite significant adversity. That experience instilled in me a deep understanding of what it means to lack access—and how transformative opportunity can be when it is finally within reach.

Over the past 15+ years, I have worked across nonprofit leadership, financial management, and real estate—overseeing multimillion-dollar budgets, strengthening organizations through clean audits, and ensuring financial transparency at every level.

I have also built my expertise through formal education:

These experiences—both lived and learned—guide how this organization operates today. HHerouth was created to bridge the gap between resources and real impact, ensuring that every dollar, every asset, and every opportunity is handled with integrity.

“I know what it means to lack access—and what it takes to create it.”

Our Mission

The mission of Hherouth International Ministries, Inc. is to empower underserved youth by providing mentorship, education, and resources that create pathways to land ownership, homeownership, and generational stability.

Our Vision

A world where every young person has the opportunity, knowledge, and support to become a landowner, homeowner, and leader in their community.

 

Our Purpose

Through community partnerships and leadership development, the organization transforms opportunity into ownership and equips young people to become builders, land stewards, and leaders within their communities.

Movement Pillars

Youth Empowerment

Leadership training helping youth discover purpose and confidence.

Land Ownership

Education on acquiring land and understanding the power of land stewardship.

Homeownership

Preparing youth with the knowledge and resources to own their own homes.

Community Development

Why This Matters

For many underserved youth, ownership is not just a goal—it’s a missing pathway.

Your support helps close that gap by providing the tools, knowledge, and access needed to move from uncertainty to stability—and from stability to ownership.
