A part of Bryant Lavender died with his father’s passing. The 13-year-old said his goodbyes to his father at the funeral but what he didn’t lay to rest was the promise he’d made to his dad. He turned to God for affirmation and courage but he had to face some giants on his road to promise: Responsibility, negativity, doubt from people in his circle. And he had to learn how to get out of his own way to walk into his purpose.
He shares his run with life through his football experience, teaching the wisdom he gleaned and encouraging others to burst through the barriers.
