Please join us as we hear Breon’s inspiring story about struggles, self-discovery and living your truth.     Breon Thomas began his life in Atlanta Georgia. As he entered school for the first time, he realized he was different when moved from the general class to a special education class. Breon talks about what the social implications of him being divided from his friends and labeled as special needs. Later in his life he moved to Chattanooga, Tennessee where he graduated high school and then went to college. After a few jobs, he enlisted in the Navy. The Navy was a difficult place to work and live as a neurodiverse person because the environment is so structured and limited. Breon left the Navy while awarded the National Medal of Honor. He spent the next phase of his life rediscovering who he was and what his next steps would be. It was during this time that Breon created Seehim.enterprises and Cargo Vanpreneur creating his own path to success as an entrepreneur. He credits the strong women in his life, his mom, aunt, and grandmother for supporting him and telling him he could do anything he put his mind to no matter what type of brain he had. Have you been searching for a law firm that understands the unique challenges of your family?
