I am Abel Lumas, Founder and CEO of Roots for Resilience™, a personal brand and platform built around resilience, personal development, empowerment, and meaningful change.
My journey has been shaped by perseverance, service, education, and the experiences that taught me the importance of resilience.
Growing up in a large family in Chicago, I witnessed generational challenges and the impact of mental health struggles within my community. Those experiences influenced my desire to serve others and ultimately shaped the work I do today.
My educational journey was not always straightforward. After struggling academically and eventually leaving high school, I earned my GED and continued pursuing my education. I attended Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, beginning in remedial classes, and graduated with a degree in Sociology in 2010. I became the first college graduate in my family of 19 siblings.
In 2016, I earned my Master of Social Work from the Jane Addams College of Social Work at the University of Illinois Chicago. I went on to build my career as a social worker, dedicating myself to serving and supporting others.
But after years of giving to others, 2023 brought a turning point. I experienced burnout and was challenged to look inward and confront my own mental and emotional wellbeing. That experience changed the way I understood my purpose.
I realized that my calling was not simply to help people survive their circumstances, but to help them thrive.
