Founded in 2019, You Matter University started as a thought just like everything does. Demetrius Harmon struggled throughout high school academically, previously being an honor roll student in middle school this shocked his pride. Mixing those bad grades, depression, anxiety, and death school became less of a tool to educate him but more so something to endure. As result, Demetrius began to float his way through high school, accepting that his academic dreams of attending schools like UCLA, USC, U OF M, or MSU were far gone. Simultaneously, Demetrius was succeeding in his craft, and in his business; which led to him feeling like a failure and successful all at once.
