In Andrews own words:
Life is about the unknown and how we face challenges every day. I'm here to be of service to inspire through my stories in my own life so that your light may shine whether in business and personal.
At 13, I hit rock bottom in my life due to the harshness of the world around me that led me to the point where life wasn’t worth living and attempted suicide. But some force within me pushed me back to life and I stand here to tell my tale. I furnished the harsh experiences of my life with pretty fancy words to fill up the lives of the people around me with light. I stood against the harrowing experiences, and guess what? At the exact moment, life became bountiful on me. From an early age, I discovered my passion for acting and few months later at the then age of 14 when my grandfather died; I declared to the universe what I wanted to do. Pursuing my dream has led me on a path of personal development discoveries enjoying life where I traveled across the world, experienced different cultures and worked different jobs. From the pyramids of Egypt to the Great Wall of China, I explored the planet and got to inspire so many lives around me along the way.
Do you know what’s keeping me going? Hearing the laughter and cheers of the people when they hear me sharing my life stories with them. Those smiles and happy faces are just the fuel that empowers me to always keep going. I even wrote, produced, and performed my one-man show to inspire more people. Through my show, I lend a helping hand to the people struggling with life and wanting to die, people giving up due to bullying and abuse, and people losing their sexual identity. The world will start following you if you start believing in yourself. From being traumatized by the harsh experiences of life you too can move into a place of empowerment to follow your dreams and start chasing them to the end!
Some of my lifetime achievements include working with award-winning actors/directors and featuring in The Washington Post, Uk’s The Guardian, National Post, and on BBC Radio 1.
