You Matter Agency Founders

---

It has been a journey to believe in myself, resulting back from past childhood to early adulthood trauma. Being manipulative, picked on, and not having the supportive system led me to not believe in myself. When I met my wife Rebecca, she always told me I had it in me to accomplish many things. With not believing in myself it had me put everything on hold. Until one day my wife approached me and encouraged me to get my diploma. Again, not believing in myself, I still went to take the test, and I passed. That is the day when I started my education journey. I didn’t receive my General Education Diploma until the age of 37, bachelor’s at 40 and master’s degree at the age of 44. This is a testimony of having a supportive group in your inner circle, as well as you can achieve your goals when you believe in yourself. 

We built this agency to have people come where they can be comfortable and encourage people to go after their dreams. We also encourage many of our host/creators to use their voice If they are uncomfortable or getting bullied, we encourage you to speak up. Everyone’s voice matters. At the end of the day If it is on this app or out in the world, just don’t give up. It’s never too late to accomplish your dreams. 

Special Thank you,

My wife, Rebecca, of 21 years for always supporting me on ideas and journey I take. She has always been my rock ~ Love you 

Shelby has been very supportive since I have brought this idea up. She has also, along with my wife, have been the biggest motivator and grounded me in this journey and life. ~ You Rock 

 I strive to do the best I can, not only for myself but for my family. I have been a stay at home mom for about 7 years and I always felt judged for that. I felt like I couldn't spend my husbands money even though its "our" money. I felt so many mixed emotions, that I had to bottle them down. I started to do Tiktok about a year ago, from making content to doing the Tiktok shop. I started to see money coming in but I was getting judge and hearing chatter that "I guess thats what stay at home moms do" or "they really don't pay out much". That pushed me to keep going and I have and I am exceeding. 

I started working a Tiktok agency with a good friend that I met on the app, Brandon. Brandon and I have started from ground zero many times with this agency and now we're growing faster than ever and I couldn't be anymore estatic where we are. I give all thanks to Mr. Brandon for taking a chance on me when he asked me to run the agency with him, we make a great team and with that there is no stopping us now. 

Never let the negativity bring you down, make it your motivation. Don't push yourself because of what others say about you, push yourself because you know you can complish the task at hand.

 My husband Mario of 8 years has always been my biggest motivation. He's helped paid my way through school when we first started dating 13 years ago to now cheering me on with the growth of this agency I help run.
