“Knowledge is Power” 🧠

“Knowledge is Power” 🧠

My name is Tavion. I’m 24 I’m from San Diego. Right now in my community I try to steer kids on the right path by telling them some of the things I have been through and how to overcome obstacles. I used to do some mentor ship before the pandemic and I plan on going back to that when everything is settled down. I just started to get into politics a little bit. My opinions may offend some, but I think different perspectives are important. Jeff DeVante is a 25 yo SD native who enjoys creative outlets to connect with those around him.

Athletes Part 1

Athletes Part 1

I am Monique Van 25-year-old from San Diego California. I have many facets to my personality, but they all have one thing in common: Passion. I have a passion for many things in my life including but not limited to: God, family, sports/fitness, business, financial literacy, food, and being social. Growing up I played many sport, track and field, basketball, soccer, volleyball, and cross country. Sports has really shaped me into the person I am today. The same mentality I used for sports; is the same mentality I use for everything else in my life. Most people know me as an athlete, and most recently a former UCLA Track and Field athlete. Although I think it is dope to be known for those things, there is so much more that meets the eye. I have many other talents and passions, including being a business owner and criminal justice reform. I am very determined, and I am always looking for ways to improve myself and help others. I am passionate about giving back to the community and supporting my friends, family, and black businesses. God and my family are what gives me the determination to go out and get it each day. Currently I am running a sports apparel company called Fierce competitor, coaching Track and Field at Helix High School and beginning a new job with the federal government.
All seriousness aside, I really enjoy working out, nature, cooking, online shopping, and spending time with family. I am an outgoing person who likes to have fun, but I take care of business first. I have made many sacrifices in my life to get to where I am at now. At this point, I am living proof that sacrifice can get you to where you want to be. I am a firm believer in feeling vulnerable and having failures. I believe that is the only way you can truly get to where you want to be, by seeing where you don’t want to be.
