Dr. Mateen Diop

Dr. Diop believes that it’s not our circumstances that determine the desired outcomes, but instead, it’s our reaction to those situations. Dr. Diop was reared in a segregated, low-income neighborhood in San Antonio, TX. In his environment, excelling in school was not a celebrated trait. Instead, it was how much you drank or smoked that determined your worth. Fortunately for Dr. Diop, God spoke to him at an early age and whispered, “Don’t go where they want to take you.” Since hearing that silent whisper, Dr. Diop has been determined to share his message of the power of having a positive attitude in all situations, finding your purpose, and living your best life.
