The author of “Inspire The Sleeping
Giant Within & How To Stay Motivated During Difficult Times,”

Success Training who shares of his life story. He is an
immigrant from Cuba who made a harrowing escape eight years ago
and started a new life with virtually nothing. He is an
inspiration as he has accomplished so much by the age of 26.

Saturday, November 22 The Howard Peter Rawlings Conservatory in Druid Hill Park The Howard Peter Rawlings Conservatory in Druid Hill Park is one of the undiscovered gems of the city of Baltimore.
