#Ayómide = My joy has come… This is one of my son’s middle names and yes, it is #yourba. For me, this is not just a picture of my son and I having a fun #fatherson moment. This is a reminder that through all of the pain I endured in my past, I am still able to live in the abundance of joy! I did not grow up with my parents. My mom was in and out of my life and my father, from what I have been told was in and out of jail. I never had any contact with him until, I was in my late 20s and it was made very clear that not having him in my life was a great decision (he ended up back in and out of jail after our 1st meeting together. I was raised by my grandparents and I loved them with every fiber of my being. They tried their best, but looking back, I can clearly see that they fell short in a lot of ways, like we all do. I went through layers of trauma and abuse. Yes, I have dealt with PTSD, Anxiety, Depression and a multitude of things, but the one thing I held on to was my faith and belief in #GOD. HE did not forget about me! HE heard my prayers and counted every tear I cried. HE granted my heart’s desire and blessed me with my own true #family. One that would erase my pain and replace it with JOY! I will tell you that if you ever felt not seen, if you ever felt like He didn’t hear your cries, if you ever felt out of place, if you ever felt like you were drowning in your pain, if you ever thought you could not have #Happiness and #Joy I am an example that if you can hold on to Him that sticks closer than a brother; joy, peace, and love is truly possible. #Livingexample #LivingmyJoy #HappyFather #Joysofbeingadad #joysoffatherhood #dadgoals #fathergoals #happychild #happyson #blackdadjoy #blackboyjoy #Fatherhoodfraternity#blacksheepsuccess #madeittotheotherside #lightattheendofthetunnel #dontgiveup (at Bedford–Stuyvesant, Brooklyn) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0l6pzpBNZH/?igshid=1wltesswj1mct

Working on sharpening my #photography & #editing skills with the perfect model!

Ok this may be a long one. First and foremost #HappyFathersDay to all of the Dads! Now to tell you a little story. As some of you know I had back surgery about 2 and a half years ago and since then even though I have felt better since having the procedure, I was still concerned about how active I could be. I figured that the one thing that I could do was ride a bike. I always loved #bikeriding as a kid, but as an adult I really did not have time to fully enjoy it. I wanted to get back into it. So towards the end of 2017 I bought an inexpensive bicycle and started to do short bike rides around Brooklyn. For me this was great but I wanted to do more. I had the crazy idea that I wanted to ride to my Alma mater @sunyoldwestbury which is 27.1 miles from my house. Prior to this year the most I have ever gone was maybe 5-10 miles. This was going to be a challenge! However there was another reason why I wanted to use my school as a goal. You see Old Westbury is where my life changed forever! It is where I met my wife @dol.a.po Prior to that moment, my life was heading toward a path of destruction built on sadness, pain and a lot of different childhood traumas. At Old Westbury My life changed forever! My Wife and I grew up together and share a life together that still amazes me today. Without GOD and this Amazing woman I would not be able to celebrate #FathersDay today. Old Westbury gave me a rebirth when I first met Dolapo, and for me achieving the Goal of making it there yesterday was representing a new rebirth. I have been processing and unpacking all of the traumas lately. I have been doing this through my walk with GOD, with therapy, and help from my wife, certain family members and my friends. I needed this #bikeride to remind me that I can do anything that I put my mind to. I also want to show my son that if you can focus, trust in GOD and yourself anything is possible! Now what’s next! Maybe a #triathlon ? Who knows! https://www.instagram.com/p/ByyxaViBRjwvG0ZC-hGqQZEBaUNKqBvnVTQgb80/?igshid=ic8whtm1xa8w

On April 28th at 5:37pm (PST), 8:37pm(EST) 30 something years ago, I came into this world with no idea of what was in store! Today, I even wondered if my mother was even truly happy at my arrival. If you really know my story, then you would know that that is not a weird thought. The first half of my life (so far), was really painful. I went through immense trauma and held on to #secrets that were not mine to keep. There were times the pain was so intense that I wanted to tap out, but I am now grateful that I didn’t because the latter half of my life (so far) has been amazing and will continue to be so IJN! I thank GOD that HE did not forget about me. He introduced me to my wife @dol.a.po at the very moment I was ready to give up. He continued to pour blessings upon me by adding true joy (Ayomide) to our lives via our prince. He blessed me with true friends and real family when so called “family” turned their backs on me for speaking and confronting out loud the true cause of my trauma. I thank God for giving me the courage to release so many years of pain. I thank God for holding my hand and at times carrying me through this thing called life even when I thought I was alone. I thank God for healing (especially mentally and emotionally). I am so blessed and honored to see another birthday and I look forward to God blessing our lives and seeing many many many more. To God be the Glory 🙌🏽. #GodIsGood #HappyBirthdaytoMe #RealFamily #RealFriendsBecomeFamily #SpeakYourTruth #ItsNotYourSecretToKeep #ShoutOutToMyRealFriendsandFamily #NewEra (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw019nChh87wV1OLFGpiohjOABCKVbnmROd_dQ0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ximlrvcp30aq
