Streamer HMBL Zayy kicked off his cross-country journey on March 26, setting out to walk from Philadelphia to California. His mission was to raise funds to send five teenagers to Africa and build a university where youth can learn trade skills and entrepreneurship.
The streamer isn’t new to taking on big challenges. Earlier this year, he hosted a seven-day peak stream, fasting from sunup to sundown. All of the proceeds went toward taking five Philadelphia youth to Disney World for the first time.
The walk to California was no joke. Throughout the journey, Zayy faced several obstacles, including getting hit by cars while continuing to push toward his goal. Along the way, he also met different people who supported and encouraged him. Despite the challenges, Zayy continued to share prayers throughout the entire journey. Now, he’s celebrating a major milestone

HMBL Zayy Gives Glory To God During Emotional Speech After Officially Reaching California
Earlier this week, HMBL Zayy celebrated on stream in front of the California state sign after completing his 3,000-mile journey.
During the emotional moment, he screamed, “3,000 miles! What they gon’ say now? What they gon’ say now? The doubters, the haters, the ones who said we wasn’t gon’ make it. What they gon’ say now? We ain’t quit. We ain’t take a ride when times got hard. We kept pushing. We fought through the pain each and every day. Mountains, the desert, wildlife. What they gon’ say now? It’s nothing that we can’t do.”
As he continued his speech, Zayy gave all the praise to God, saying all things are possible through Him. He continued, “3,000 miles. We take that into the world. We are going to be unstoppable. HMBL University on the way, man. Listen, never let nobody in life tell you that you can’t do something because it was thousands of people telling me I couldn’t do it.”
Zayy captioned the post, “GOD DIDDDDDD.” He also took to the comment section, tagging Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker as he shared his vision of hosting an event for local youth.
He wrote, ”@phillymayor @cherelleparkerphilly I would like to have a organized block party for the kids… major giveaway! Please let’s coordinate this. If you or your team can reach out.”
