On September 2 2025, Reggie suffered a severe stroke that has affected the entire left side of his body. He is now facing months of intensive therapy several days a week to regain strength and movement in his left arm, hand, and leg. He’s learning how to walk all over again, and it’s going to be a long road to recovery.

Because he now requires 24-hour care, I’ve had to take leave from work to be his caregiver during this time. He also had to pause his website, pop-up events, and all new activity related to his Clothing Line business, Chocolate Dope Apparel. Reggie is the person his family loves and looks up to for strength and guidance. He’s been a source of motivation for so many people not because life has been easy for him, but because of where he’s come from and his absolute refusal to quit no matter what obstacles he faces, he inspires others by living proof that your circumstance don’t define your future your determination does, even now as he faces this difficult recovery journey from his stroke. Reggie remains committed to being that same person who never gives up who keeps pushing forward and who shows everyone around him what true perseverance looks like your support doesn’t just help Reggie. It helps him continue being the motivational force for his family and COMMUNITY who depend on him to lead by example. He’s always been there for others now he needs us to be there for him.

Any funds raised will go toward his monthly bills, food, living expenses, medical equipment, medications, doctor bills, and gas to make it to his many appointments over the next 3–6 months.

He has a long journey ahead, but with love, faith, and support, we know recovery is possible. If you can donate, share, or even say a prayer for his healing, it would mean the world to him.

Thank you for being part of his community. He will get through this, but can't do it alone. ♿️ ❤️
