I was raised in one of Americas first housing projects Altgeld Gardens located on the far south side of Chicago in the midst of gang violence and poverty. At the age twelve I did however started participating in gang activities it wasn’t too long before I started selling drugs and living on the wrong side of the law. At age 17 I graduated from Carver High School located in the community I was raised. After graduation I joined the military Army National Guard, while in the service I attended Columbia College in Chicago. I majored in Journalism and film. I enjoy working with kids and helping others my, life experiences inspired me to right the book. I’m now a father an older man with a testimony to help spiritually influence the youth and young adults, teens and even those from my generation who are lost and fallen victim to the streets without a spiritual guidance. My journey to reach this point in my life was all God’s plan.view less
