Everything has an origin. This is a treatise, a systematic exposition in writing including a methodical discussion of the facts and principles involved and conclusions reached, on how TR$TFVND started.

In the beginning, when I decided to partner up to create TR$TFVND, it was to capture and embody the idea of wealth through fashion and garments. I was totally down to put out the new, flyest “clothing line”. Especially because it  aligned the two topics that I was already into: getting rich and getting fresh. Plus I knew I had some design ideas that would evoke thought that other people couldn’t help but love.

Unbeknownst to many, this catapulted me into a deeper soul search that I was already investing in on my own. Finding my purpose, a reason for being; TR$TFVND was enlightening me like nothing else ever had before. I was reading, writing, researching, and implementing what it truly meant to have a “trust fund”. Better known as a foundation for trust. For some a trust fund simply means money left after a wealthy grandparent or parent passes away, a luxury me nor anybody I know has inherited. Fortunately for me, I have a great Father who broke down that we’ve inherited much, much more than money.

Instead, me and many people like me have inherited a not so healthy nor optimum way of living. Smeared with addiction, poverty, obesity, illiteracy(financial), and many other traits I had to unlearn and reject. Most of all the lack of the knowledge of self, or our lineages. Little did I know I was beginning the process of cultivating a TR$TFVND for my family, friends, peers, and even my unborn children.

Cultivating TR$TFVND consisted of getting to know myself through and through, understanding my strengths and weaknesses, creating a noble aim, and being mindful of what I chose to consume, literally and figuratively. Comprhending why I do what I do and why I make the decisions I make, I began to spend my time more wisely.

As I made strides forward and stayed on course, I noticed the effects my new lifestyle was having on my personal life, work life, social life, and overall well-being. It turns out as I shed the cloak of greed masked as insecurity, I found out that sharing TR$TFVND is the entire reason and definition of its formation. To pass assets and virtues along so the next person in line can grow and build on it.

Our hope and goal is to reach the adults and adolescence alike who are coming up just as I did, feeling as if this world isn’t our own. Believing a lie that has been told for millennia. A lie that has led  to empty, chaotic relationships. A lie that has us on the verge of destruction through ignorance, unhealthiness, addiction, crime, misalignment, or bad decision making.

My goal is to bring truth and trust to as many souls as possible and get ahold this who yearn for a better life before the system or the grave does. The next goal is to honor our ancestors and the ones who blazed the trail before us. And to preferably remember the ones who are still in the midst of battling for the control of their lives right now.

In the beginning, I agreed to be apart of TR$TFVND for selfish reasons. Notoriety, greed, power, bragging rights. But because of the soul search TR$TFVND has led me on, I know that today, on January 3rd 2020, I am far from the beginning. I now plan to utilize TR$TFVND to promote intellectual property, assist and enlighten those who long for health, wealth, and wisdom. And to help them understand that The World is Yours.
