Interview With Eugene Campbell lll Professional basketball player entrepreneur and philanthropist
Hi! How Are You?
I am blessed and happy to be alive and blessed to be able to play the sport I love professionally.
Tell us about your background, what has gotten you to where you are today?
My name is Eugene Campbell III. I am a third named after my father and grandfather. I have a sister and two lovely parents Kim and Eugene Campbell Jr. I am a college graduate from New Jersey City University. I have three degrees including an Associates Bachelors and Masters degree in psychology. I own a nonprofit organization called walkamilenourshoes in which we hand deliver shoes, clothes and essential needs to those in need all over the world. We have helped many communities around the States from New Jersey to New York to Pennsylvania, Utah and even in Europe. I am also a proud brother of Psi Sigma Phi Multicultural fraternity Inc. which has had a huge impact in my life. I am also the owner of a clothing brand called dif-fer-ent. The message behind the brand is to inspire those to be themselves no matter what others say or thing always be you. Being dif-fer-ent is good and it makes us who we are. I have reached this point in my life by being resilient and ambitious. I never settle and I’m never comfortable with being average. I also want to do better and this has helped me reach success. I give everything in life 110% and I never give up. Even if I fail I learn from my failure and the next time around I always figure out how to succeed in whatever it was that I failed doing. I always walk around with a chip on my shoulder especially on the basketball court. I play every game like it is my last and like I have something to prove. This has made me the man I am today.
Where are you from?
I am from Jersey City, New Jersey.
Can you tell us a story about what brought you to this specific career path?
Basketball is something that has been in my family since I was a little boy. My father played basketball along with my sister so basketball wasn’t very foreign in my household growing up. Although I was around the game I didn’t start taking it seriously until I was cut from the basketball team my freshman year of high school. I wasn’t cut because of my talent, I was cut because the coach had his favorites. This is what gave me that permanent chip on my shoulder that I have today.
I came back sophomore year making the JV team then played varsity my Junior and Senior year. It wasn’t until the last game of my senior year in high school that I wanted to take basketball to the next level. I was able to have a solid college career playing and put in a lot of late nights and early mornings of hard work which gave me the opportunity to play basketball overseas. Now I am in my second year of playing overseas looking to play in multiple countries following my dreams and motivating others around me.
Who are some of the most interesting people you have interacted with?
The most interesting people that I have interacted with are the people in these European countries I have been in. They are interesting because they have such a different upbringing than me as an American man and their culture is very different than mine. It is very interesting to see how the people in Moldova laughed at me for purchasing plastic forks and spoons calling me strange. It is very normal in my upbringing to use plastic forks and spoons but in Moldova they are very traditional using silverware. It was very interesting in Armenia to see people never using a dryer when they are doing laundry. In America people always use dryers after washing clothes but here it is very traditional to just let clothes dry outside whether its hot outside or not.
You have been blessed with success in a career path that can be challenging. Do you have any words of advice for others?
My word advice to the beautiful people in the world is that if tou have a dream write it down and look at it every single day. Make sure that everyday you are working towards your dream and don’t let anyone or anything stop you from working towards it. We all have the same 24 hours in a day to make sure yours is productive goal oriented. As long as you work hard and trust the process all of your dreams will become a reality.

Brooke Sandoval’s Inspiring Journey to Brookies Kitchen: A Culinary Dream Fueled by Love and Family
In a heartwarming tale of perseverance and passion, Brooke Sandoval has embarked on a culinary adventure with the launch of her very own cooking company, Brookies Kitchen. Motivated by her deep love for cooking, her family, and the infectious joy she brings to people’s faces through her delicious creations, Brooke’s journey is as inspiring as it is heartwarming.
The spark that ignited Brookies Kitchen was Brooke’s unwavering dedication to her kids and her family. Faced with the challenges of caring for her son, who suffers from the rare syndrome of Treacher Collins, and requiring 24-hour watch under certified supervision, Brooke found herself unable to work in a traditional setting. However, instead of letting this setback deter her, she turned to her passion for cooking as a means of both creative expression and financial support for her family.
Drawing inspiration from her grandmothers, KC and Christina, Brooke honed her culinary skills and developed a unique flair for creating mouthwatering dishes that not only delighted the taste buds but also warmed the heart. Her kitchen became a sanctuary of love and creativity, where she poured her soul into every recipe, infusing them with the love and care that only a devoted mother could provide.
For Brooke, nothing compares to the joy of cooking and sharing her creations with her family, friends, and even her children’s friends. The smiles that light up the faces of those who taste her food are a testament to the passion and dedication she pours into every dish. It is this joy, this connection with others through food, that drives Brooke to continue pursuing her culinary dreams despite the challenges she faces.
Brookies Kitchen is not just a business venture for Brooke; it is a labor of love, a testament to the power of family, and a celebration of the simple joys that come from sharing a delicious meal with those we hold dear. As Brooke continues to grow her company and share her culinary gifts with the world, she remains rooted in the values of love, family, and the transformative power of a home-cooked meal.
In a world filled with challenges and uncertainties, Brooke Sandoval and Brookies Kitchen stand as a shining example of resilience, love, and the enduring power of food to bring people together. With every dish she creates, Brooke is not just feeding stomachs; she is nourishing souls and spreading joy one bite at a time.

The Foundational Steps of Divine Wisdom and Purpose By: Ladaro (Monsta Yo) Pennix II and Colin Randolph
This project originally started as an examination of our past, aiming to expose our mistakes and explore our transformation over time. Monsta Yo and I wanted to compare how we had evolved from a regretful period to where we are now. However, delving into our painful memories from decades of incarceration revealed disturbing and disheartening experiences. We realized how deeply we had been involved in destructive behaviors towards others and ourselves, driven by violence, hatred, and fury. Our lives had been shaped by a system that perpetuated hatred and violence, leaving us unable to understand why we behaved the way we did.
Reflecting on our past proved to be emotionally draining, prompting us to shift our focus towards exploring the factors that shaped us into the men we are today. Monsta Yo suggested concentrating on our foundational beliefs, leading to the creation of “The Foundational Steps of Divine Purpose and Wisdom.” We found that scripture had a profound impact on our lives and decided to center our project around its teachings.
I gathered scriptures that had influenced me significantly and discussed their practical applications, especially for those who are incarcerated. Monsta Yo, with his theological expertise, provided insights into the power and wisdom of these scriptures, enriching our reflections. Together, we brought passion, perspective, and purpose to each discussion, resulting in the title “The Foundational Steps of Divine Wisdom and Purpose.”
Through this project, we realized that examining our past was not just about acknowledging our mistakes but understanding the journey of our transformation. Our painful memories laid the foundation for our growth, highlighted through our reflections on scripture’s wisdom and purpose. This project evolved into a testament to our faith and the transformative power of scripture.
Monsta Yo’s theological insights complemented my reflections, offering a deeper understanding of the scriptures’ impact. By blending personal experiences with theological wisdom, we created a compelling exploration of the Divine wisdom and purpose found in scriptures.
