@HoustonEverett Congratulations, Houston! So excited to see the work you bring to your non-profit. Don’t forget you are teaching all of those doctors and educators. 🎉

A little over three weeks ago I was at a symposium to benefit people with disabilities on campus, I felt out of place then because there were doctors and educators and people within the Mississippi government. Fast forward to now where I’m in a room with over 700 people from various parts of the world and now I’m talking to these wonderful people, first of all there are so many wonderful people. I wish I could post all of their stories and their wonderful testimonies! Dak’s Outreach is beyond anything I could’ve ever imagined. I say that because I still think of him as the 19-year-old sophomore I met just over a decade ago. There are so many wonderful award, winners and donors and I’m humbled by the extremely kind words that was said about me. I want to make sure that people know him the way I know him. You may see a football player, a dang Good one, yes, he’s a good leader on the field, but he leads everywhere and most importantly, he utilizes his talent for the kingdom of God
