The Viral Video That Changed My Life: Gratitude, Hustle, and Homelessness
In August 2020, my life changed when a video I made went viral, reaching tens of millions of people. But what you might not know is the story behind that video. At the time, I was homeless in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. I didn’t have phone service, and I was stealing Wi-Fi during the day just to stay connected. I wrote, directed, and cast the video myself—while living on the streets. It wasn’t easy, but I knew I had a message that needed to be shared: the power of gratitude.

I’m excited to introduce you to my new website, a place where my journey—both as a comedian and a human being—comes together. This platform is more than just a showcase of my work; it’s a testament to the power of resilience, laughter, and kindness. I’ve always believed that even in the darkest moments, a little bit of light can make all the difference. Whether it’s a joke that makes you laugh or an act of kindness that brings a smile to your face, I want this website to be a place where we can all connect and inspire one another.
Through my Bless a Buddy campaign, I’m continuing to spread positivity, with 25% of all lemonade sales going into a fund to help those in need. You’ll also find updates on my latest projects, including my upcoming documentary, From the Struggle to the Bubble, and more of my comedy work. I want this space to be a reflection of what I stand for: community, laughter, and kindness. Join me on this journey, and let’s bless some buddies together.
