Who are your inspirations? and why?

     My number one inspiration is by far my mother, Karen Southee. After seeing her battle breast cancer from day one, being so mentally and physically strong made me realize how much I love her and to never take anything for granted. And thanks to her for being the fighter that she is, she is now cancer free. :)

What is your goal with Parkour and your life?
    My goal is to just spread positivity through my movement and open peoples eyes to the endless possibilities that are out in this world. As for life itself, just live life to the fullest every single day because you never know what you're going to be dealt ;and whatever is handed to you needs to be taken one day at a time, no rush needed.

What is your honest opinion of Tranquil Movement?     
     My honest opinion of Tranquil Movement: By far one of the classiest, wait scratch that, THE classiest team out there. The way they go about business and show love to the community is amazing, and every individual on the team has the up-most respect for anyone they happen to come in contact with. Love their movement! 

I heard you are a hero in your home town, care to share?
     That is what I've been called here ever since that early morning of March 17th. My neighbors house was engulfed in flames in a matter of minutes. Thanks to whatever told me to look out of my window when i heard a pop, my father and I ran over to the house quickly, but not quick enough, in my mind. My father and I rescued 6 out of the 7 family members before the firefighters arrived. One boy did not make it, he tried to run out of the front of the house which was the most engulfed part of the house. R.I.P Jeffery Aisaa, forever in our hearts. But in my eyes I am no hero. I just did what i had to do and would expect nothing less from them if the same happened to my family.
