"There is no chance, no fate, no destiny - that can hinder the firm resolve of a determined soul"

Dear Survivors,

The exhaustion you feel from the fight about the lights and where you will get food for the night does not go unnoticed. 

I notice the physical pain that your body feels from trying to navigate a chaotic mind while existing in a chaotic life. Working and stressing non-stop: leaving your body barely able to keep your eyes open during the drive home at night. 

This pure exhaustion that brought you to this site, to this page, to this moment right now. 

A pure determination led you here – I admire this. I admire how survivors have a willingness to fight for their life. 

We exhaust ourselves by searching endlessly for answers in any dark corner we can find. The google questions that we have asked and the internet scams we have fallen into leave us exactly where we started: surviving.  

Our lack of knowledge is the problem – the problem IS NOT our willingness to fight.

Survivors are focused on getting through the day without being beaten by the world that surrounds them. We simply do not have the time to research and investigate how to solve our life problems. We are simply trying to survive. 

Scammers set traps that easily trick our minds into life long consequences when all we wanted to do was learn how to thrive.

Let me introduce you to Street Smarts – my solution to learning how to thrive.  

Street Smart

noun; informal [plural: street smarts] 

  1. Learned experiences on how to succeed or manage in difficult or dangerous situations.
  2. Having the ability and knowledge on how to be extremely resourceful with your surroundings. 

it is….

Being Resourceful
It is working the system around you. The ability to think on your feet and find a solution in your surroundings, quickly.
Thinking Outside the Box
It is when you come up with a new idea in order to solve a current problem. When you utilize a tool that you have in your life for a different purpose.
Experience
It is the knowledge that people before you have used. A unique tip, life hack, or resource awareness that someone has learned because they lived through an experience.

My Goal

Develop your Street Smarts in order to take you from surviving to thriving. 

I BELIEVE

We are stuck surviving because we have not had access to knowledge on how to navigate real life problems

My solution

Create a library of knowledge on how to:

Work the system
Find/use Free Resources
Manage money
Navigate the Mind
Develop Hobbies/Habits
Thrive

So dear survivors...

I want to give you a library of knowledge. A library of Street Smart knowledge.

Life hacks, learned experiences, and ideas/resources that will help you think outside the box

Giving you access to knowledge on how to thrive

At the end of each Street Smart article there is a Cheat Sheet 

Cheat Sheets are a step-by-step guide on how to use the Street Smart that you just read about.

You just input your own information, check off the boxes and easily apply the StreetSmarts to your busy life.

You choose what you want to use and how you want to apply it to your life.

I am just here to give access to the knowledge.

Why me?

I survived the foster care system, homelessness, and even won a court case against my father that secured the safety of my eleven siblings (I’ll tell you about that later)

I deeply understand the struggle of surviving.

This exhaustion and confusion is personal to me. 

My life led me to developing this passion for knowledge and getting it to broken generations – this became my fight.  

More on that later…for now…lets get into the street smarts
