S3 | EP 5: DeRonte Craig ~ Redefining Life's Journey ~ Utilizing Principles for Success Amidst the Pain Points of Parental Incarceration 
DeRonte was born in Washington DC and a few months after his birth his father, Ronald Craig, was sentenced tp prison and had been there his entire life. The absence of his Dad played an intricate role in DeRonte's life and left alot of responsibilities on him as the eldest child. The prressures of being the parent child almost derailed DeRonte's lifepath. However, the influence of his strong family support system -- his mother, paternal grandparents and his father from prison -- propelled him from the pathway towards becoming a statistic and into a focused student with a 4.0 grade point average that led to him completing college at HBCU Bowie State University, becoming an Entrepreneur, adjunct professor and WE GOT US NOW Actionist. 
In this episode, DeRonte shares powerful principles with our WE GOT US NOW community on how he has maintained his success and motivation to thrive personally and professionally. His commitment to get his biggest supporter, his Dad, Ronald Criag, home who after 24 years in prison is not eligible for release until 2040 and his journey to creating digital marketing agency, nine27.co.
This episode is not to be missed!
