He has overcome drug addiction, the judicial system, street hustling, gang violence, childhood trauma and mental health issues. Most young black men are taught not to open up, to not how emotion and to always be tough, which are good lessons, however, we are just as human as anyone else. Being able to express yourself however you see fit is a beautiful thing. So yes, stay strong, but be transparent, show emotion through your work and always provide and protect. Being a young entrepreneur and community leader has lifted Lorenzo up to new heights mentally and physically. In sharing these poems of his mental transition from the streets to corporate America, he hopes to inspire his elders and lead generation Z by example.We don't always choose the hand we're dealt but we do decide how we play it. - King Zoview less
