“Thank you to everyone who’s taking a chance with me. It’s not been easy, but when Jesus says yes, no man can say no. Thank God we don’t look like what we’ve been thru.

I just want to be successful, I just want to put my father’s name in the big blue sky above, it’s unfair that he had to die before he truly lived. I just wanted more.
“My name is TM, my glow up is real #Believethat. That TM Glow.
