A note from the CEO:
People aren't unhealthy solely because of the biological factors that they cannot control. Most people lead unhealthy lives because of their circumstances and environment. Whether it is a lack of education, job opportunities, stable housing, or something else, I believe that everyone deserves an equal chance to live their best life. I want to empower people and equip them with the tools they need to overcome their obstacles. That's why Overcomer, Inc. was founded. I didn't get where I am in life without a helping hand. In fact, I had many. Now, it's my turn to provide a helping hand to the community, ultimately ensuring that we can all lead healthier, more fulfilling lives!
