FOR YEARS I HAD NO VOICE. IT WASN'T UNTIL I WAS SENTENCED TO 12 YEARS IN PRISON THAT I DEVELOPED A VOICE. A VOICE THAT FIRST HAD TO INSPIRE ME TO COME OUT OF THE DARK PLACE OF BEING MOLESTED AT AN EARLY AGE. THIS PAIN KEPT ME BOUND WITHIN AND FOR YEARS I WAS SILENT. AFTER SERVING 2 YEARS IN SOLITARY CONFINEMENT, FOR THE FIRST TIME I WAS ABLE TO HEAR MY TRUE VOICE. 

​

NOW I CAN SHARE MY ABILITY TO OVERCOME. MANY ARE NEVER GOING TO GO TO PHYSICAL PRISON LIKE MYSELF, BUT I HAVE REALIZED THAT PRISON IS NOT JUST PHYSICAL BUT MENTAL, EMOTIONAL, AND SPIRITUAL. THIS UNDERSTANDING HAS OPEN DOORS FOR ME TO SPEAK AT VARIOUS COLLEGES AND HIGH SCHOOLS ACROSS THE WORLD. SPEAKING IS MY PASSION AND MY VEHICLE TO HELP OTHERS DISCOVER THEIR TRUE PURPOSE.
