Survival to Purpose: Building MFBC

National Registry of Exonerations page for Lavontae Stinson Sr.

My name is Lavontae Stinson. I’m a father, an author, and the founder of MFBC Fitness. My story includes wrongful conviction, survival, and rebuilding. Today, I’m working to turn that experience into something that reaches beyond me.

That is the purpose behind MFBC: building a future through mindset, discipline, creativity, and consistent action.

Rebuilding starts with what you do next

When you have to rebuild your life, the work can feel bigger than the progress. There are plans to make, responsibilities to carry, and days when moving forward takes everything you have.

The message I want MFBC to carry is simple: start with the step you can take today. Make time to move your body. Write the page. Learn something useful. Follow through on one promise to yourself. Small actions give you something to build on.

Why books and fitness belong in the same mission

My books and MFBC Fitness are both part of the future I’m building. Writing gives me a way to share stories and create. Fitness gives the mission a place to put discipline into practice.

Real Eyes Realize Real Lies, the MFBC fitness book, and the Marvin on Mars Adventure series are part of that work. Every project is an opportunity to keep creating and to connect with readers who want to follow the journey.

What supporting MFBC helps build

Support helps me continue producing independent books and motivational content, growing MFBC Fitness, sharing my journey, and developing future community projects.

This is work in progress, and I want people to be part of it as it grows. Reading a book, sharing the website, or telling someone about MFBC can help the mission reach another person.

If you would like to contribute directly, the support page offers several amounts so you can choose what works for you.

Support the MFBC Mission.

Contributions are voluntary. No physical product or service is provided, and contributions are not represented as tax-deductible charitable donations.

The story is still being written

There is more I want to create, more I want to share, and more work ahead. Thank you to everyone who reads, shares, purchases a book, or supports the mission.

Keep showing up for your future. I’m showing up for mine.
