    I'm glad to see Dee get his moment. Man saved me 250k dedicated so much to my son. He charged me 15.00...not 100, but 15.00 for the cost of the gym. My son got a D1 scholarship, ran a 4.3 w/ 42inch vertical. Dee always been for the kids and community.

I'm also Old school this interview was amazing, egos were not the topic good to see real talk with Black Men, especially when DeVale stated he and his wife let their boys see them when they disagree without being abusive learn how two imperfect people love on each other and build together Kudos to you All!

    Devale and his family are such an inspiration to me and my husband. My Husband surprised me and got us tickets to see him and Kay live. I loved them before my I fell in love seeing them in person. How they navigated a crowd. How they loved on each other in real time. And during the Q&A they were so well spoken it was inspiring. I love it. Can’t wait to see where my family is in 5 years and theirs cause they are truly inspiring us!!! For sure! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
