Reginald’s first encounter with mental illness occurred when he was kid. He would have visions of doing destructive things like going in a store and seeing himself tearing up the place or thinking about what would happen if he pushed a person down the stairs at school. Although he would never acted on these thoughts, he always wondered why they entered his head in the first place. He even went to his mother to ask her what was wrong with him but she dismissed it as “that’s just your daddy’s crazy side of the family.”

His dad was in and out of his life since birth, which would have its own impact on his mental health. His mother also informed him that his grandmother told her not to have any more of those “demon children” because they were “crazy.” It wasn’t until he actually spoke and reconnected with his father that his dad shared with him that he also had those bad visions and that his father had them as well.

Reggie’s mental struggles continued into manhood where he struggled with becoming a father and dating. He had no job, no car, no home and couldn’t think of how he was going to provide for his new family. This sent him into a depression that drove him to cut himself and even attempt suicide. Luckily, he had some friends that pulled him off the bridge on Roosevelt Blvd in Philadelphia and gave him newfound life.

He studied Human Communication at Shippensburg University, and uses his life purpose to help others by using his natural ability to relate with anyone. He knows first-hand the mental suffering that the black community goes through. He uses his story to deal with his own issues by helping, healing and hearing others. Reginald understands people. His platforms are dedicated to the advancement of society by problem solving through communication. He is the bridge that brings the world closer together because most problems in the world stem from lack of communication. He doesn’t care who you are or what you look like he’s here to help.
