City: Miami

Brain Injury: On May 24, 2006 I was involved in an automobile accident where a construction truck driver drove his truck in reverse and ran over my car.  Once my car was under the back two wheels of the construction truck a metal pipe got lodged in the side of my head, which is where the BRAIN INJURY took place. 

Explanation of Mask: The colors on my mask are Green = Prosperity, Yellow = Light for Guidance and Hope, Black = Shame and Hate  I put family on my forehead to be my main focus in life.  I try to keep up with my FAITH with love, peace, and happiness to be spread throughout the family.  Darkness and shame used to be written all over my face because of confusion and unanswered questions on (WHY ME?).  I decided not to let hate and shame lead me in the wrong direction; I chose a life filled with hope and peace (PROSPERITY).  I chose a dove to cover my lips and a light to shine through the darkness of my confusion to lead me to only speak kind words to others and to lead and direct me in a path filled with PEACE and UNDERSTANDING.  DON’T LET YOUR DISABILITY BE YOUR IDENTITY (EXCUSES).
