Romeo
Miller
has
been
in
the
limelight
since
he
was
a
child,
exploding
onto
the
scene
with
his
debut
single
“My
Baby”
when
he
was
just
12
years
old.
Fast
forward
to
2023,
he
uses
his
platform
to
inspire,
motivate,
and
give
back
to
the
masses.
Last
week
during
the
Future
Stars
Charity
Gala,
the
34-year-old
was
honored
with
the
Community
Impact
Award
alongside
Blac
Chyna
and
Don
Benjamin.
The
formal
attire/black
tie
event
served
as
a
fundraiser
raise
money
for
underprivileged
kids
in
the
community
who
can’t
afford
basketball
clinics
or
camps.
Eszylfie
Taylor,
owner
and
founder
of
the
Future
Stars
Basketball
Camp,
introduces
Romeo
by
stating
he’s
“a
multi-faceted
star
within
film,
television,
music,
sports,
and
philanthropy.
As
a
highly-paid
actor,
artist
and
entrepreneur,
he’s
a
devoted
father
of
two
beautiful
little
girls,
girl
dad!
Early
in
his
career,
this
individual
broke
Michael
Jackson’s
record
for
being
the
youngest
artist
to
win
a
Billboard
Artist
and
Single
of
the
Year
awards.
Despite
the
successes,
he’s
a
devout
Christian,
philanthropist,
and
recognized
as
a
National
Ambassador
for
MLK
Commission.
His
community
work
has
helped
raise
millions
in
funding
towards
elevating
youth
in
their
communities.
It
was
an
honor
to
present
this
Community
Impact
Award
to
Romeo
Miller.”

Romeo
Miller
then
took
the
time
to
deliver
a
heartfelt
speech,
upon
receiving
his
award.
“Simply
in
the
Bible,
in
Mark
9:23,
it
says
that
if
you
believe
that
anything
truly
is
possible.
I
feel
that’s
what
my
career
has
been,
starting
at
the
age
of
10
years
old
and
having
so
much
success.
They
say
to
master
a
craft
or
be
a
pro
at
something,
you
need
to
have
at
least
10,000
hours.
Already
right
now,
I
already
have
150,000
hours
of
mastering
my
craft.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
honoring
me
because
a
lot
of
people
usually
don’t
see
that
hard
work,
what
it
takes
to
have
a
career
over
20
plus
years
of
success
and
positivity
before
the
age
of
30.”
Romeo
then
delivers
a
message
for
the
youth:
“basketball
and
any
sport
is
the
game
of
life.
It’s
the
blueprint
of
life.
We
got
anybody
who
went
to
USC?
Are
there
any
Trojans?
There
we
go.
I
won
a
college
championship,
a
PAC-10
championship
with
DeMar
DeRozan.
I
always
tell
the
kids:
that
sport
—
that
basketball,
that
football,
that
golf
ball,
that
tennis
ball,
that
represents
your
dream.
However
much
work
you
put
into
it,
that’s
what
you’re
gonna
get
out
of
it.
Your
coach
represents
your
parents.
Whether
you
have
a
good
one
or
a
bad
one,
you’re
gonna
have
to
learn
how
to
navigate
the
cards
you
were
dealt.”
“Those
fans:
you
might
have
fans
that
cheer
for
you,
fans
that
cheer
against
you,”
Romeo
continues.
“They
have
no
effect
on
your
goal
unless
you
let
them.
That’s
why
it’s
so
important,
camps
like
this,
Future
Stars
because
basketball
is
the
game
of
life.
And
I
give
so
much
of
my
success,
so
much
of
my
mental
strength
of
playing
the
great
game
of
basketball.”
Romeo
prides
himself
in
being
a
prime
example.
“I
have
a
new
car
company
called
Trion,”
he
states.
“We
want
to
make
kids
know
they
could
do
anything.
You
can
be
in
the
automotive
system,
you
could
be
an
astronaut.
We’re
using
this
to
help
kids
be
inspired.
I
want
to
thank
all
y’all
beautiful
people
for
coming
out
here,
because
this
is
how
we
make
the
change.
This
is
how
we
make
a
difference.
I
want
to
dedicate
this
award
to
my
late
great,
beautiful
little
sister
in
heaven,
Tatiana
Miller.
Everything
I
do
is
for
you
now.”
