I met Arabian Prince when I spoke at UCLA with the Boys & Girls Club, and I didn't realize he was one of the founding fathers of rap until after we spoke!

Arabian is a tech junkie and incredibly successful rapper and founder of multiple tech companies. I'm honored to have had the chance to ta...

If you start thinking of yourself as a brand you'll...

The journey since I began my website has been a long, long journey. Yes, I'm only 20, yes I began my blog when I was 12, and no I didn't ever intend for my platform to turn into what it has: but I knew I was onto something the minute I began throwing around the word fearless. I always knew deep down that I had the power to inspire teens to get out of their comfort zone, do what they love, and live...
