Black SuperDad first started with me back in 2014/15 when I hit ROCK BOTTOM
Working a dead-end job post-college while going through one of my life’s worst battles, fighting for custody of my first child while trying to be a good partner to my now wife
I started to lose myself not only mentally but physically
I will never forget every night leaving my job, assistant manager for Sherwin Williams paint company, to make my nightly 3 stops
The first stop was typically grabbing a $5 pizza from Little Caesars
The second stop was grabbing 4-6 of the half off after 5 pm donuts from Family Express Gas Station
The third stop was a $7.99 bottle of Smirnoff from the liquor stop
THIS WAS ALMOST EVERY NIGHT
I ended up homeless and living with my grandparents the next year
When I say life hit me, IT STROKE ME DOWN
Like I had all of my clothes in trash bags in my grandparent's basement sleeping with Mya and Riona on their coach
And then ended up with my cousins sleeping in their babies room on a full-sized bed with my entire family
If you are reading this, then I’m sure you have gone through a similar story at one point or another in your life
Here I am blaming America, blaming my {baby mama}, blaming Uncle Sam, pointing the blame at everyone but my damn self
And then I got WOKE like no other
This is MY LIFE
Only I can FIGHT for my own life
Nobody is coming to save me
Not my mom, not my wife, not prayer (prayer without action is inaction)
Only Ronnie could get Ronnie out of this
So that’s exactly what the hell I did
And no this wasn’t some crazy fast mental, physical, financial transformation
This took years for me to repair the years of damage I had dug myself in
It took me treating my life like a new car
How do you treat a new car? Well you wash it, shine it, and vacuum it like every single day
It took me investing time, money, and energy in myself
IT TOOK ME TO FIGHT FOR MY LIFE LIKE NO OTHER
Because it's either FIGHT or DIE
THIS IS MORE THAN JUST WEIGHT-LOSS, THIS IS ABOUT BECOMING THE MAN, THE FATHER, THE LEADER THAT YOU WANT TO BE BY TAKING CARE OF YOUR MIND AND YOUR BODY FIRST
I am now happily married with 2 kids
If I am not good, happy, strong, then what happens when I try to lead them while I can’t even lead myself
I will tell you what happens, the chances of my 2 black kids being successful in their future decrease
The chances of me having a happy life decreases
POINT BLANK PERIOD, I’LL BE DAMN IF I DON’T GIVE MY KIDS THE ABSOLUTE BEST CHANCE
And then Black SuperDad was born
The Black Dad Who FIGHTS To Take Care Of His Mind, His Body, And His Family And Will Never QUIT On Them Or Himself!
If I want my daughter to grow up and marry a good man and build a LEGACY, it starts with ME
If I want my son to grow up, be amazing in sports, marry an amazing woman, again IT STARTS WITH ME
If I want my wife to stay madly in love with me…..yep you already know IT STARTS WITH ME
I am not just a man, I am a Black King
I am not just a father, I AM A BLACK SUPERDAD
My family will live and leave a Legacy starting with Me
And this is the mission for every man inside of Black SuperDad
To FIGHT not only to LIVE but to LEAVE a LEGACY #FightOrDie
