How It Started
It all began with an idea — The Fight in Me.
I didn’t have a publisher, a designer, or a team. What I had was a story — my story — and the determination to finally tell it. I wrote every word myself, formatted it, designed it, and taught myself the entire publishing process. The only thing I didn’t do was print it.
When I finished, I realized something powerful:
If I was going to share my story with the world, I wanted to do it under something real — something that represented who I was and what I’d fought for. That’s when One 11 Legacy LLC was born.

The Birth of One 11 Legacy
At first, it was just a name — a company I needed so I could publish my book.
But as I started building, I realized it was becoming something much bigger. It was my purpose.
I had never created a business before. I had no clue how to file for an LLC or what paperwork to fill out. But I researched every single step, followed the rules, and did it all on my own. No shortcuts. No help. Just faith, drive, and late nights teaching myself how to bring something to life from nothing.
That same determination carried over into this website.
I didn’t hire a web designer — I became one. Every page, every edit, every word — I built it myself because I wanted this to be real.

The Meaning Behind “One 11”
The name One 11 isn’t random. It represents my uncle — a man who meant everything to me. His birthday was January 11th, and he was the blueprint for change.
I watched him transform his life when most people had already given up. He showed me that it’s never too late to change, to rebuild, and to rise again. His wisdom, strength, and heart still guide me to this day.
Even though he’s gone, his legacy lives on through me — through this brand, through my work, and through the message I carry forward.
One 11 Legacy isn’t just a name — it’s a promise to keep his spirit alive and to continue his mission of hope and transformation.

The Mission
Everything I’ve built — the book, the company, the website — came from the same place: pain, faith, and growth.
I wanted to show people that change is possible. That no matter where you are in life or what you’ve done, it’s never too late to turn it all around.
Every loss, every setback, every misstep can become a lesson — and those lessons can become the foundation for something greater.
“I’m living proof that the fight don’t fade — I built a legacy out the mess I made.”
I do this for the ones who feel stuck.
For the addict who’s still functioning on the outside but breaking on the inside.
For anyone who feels like they’re too far gone to change.
You’re not alone — and your story isn’t over.

My Legacy
One 11 Legacy stands for transformation — the power to turn struggle into strength, pain into purpose, and loss into legacy.
It’s proof that no matter how many times you fall, you can get back up and build something beautiful from the broken pieces.
Because if I can do it — so can you.
