As a returned citizen serving 28 years in prison I have come to understand how my antisocial and impulsive choices led to drugs, violence, crime and incarceration. Because of my experiences as a child, I created a belief window principle that influenced how I saw the world and others.
In 2016 I was introduced to the life changing potential of the Arts through four amazing Teaching Artists and the rest is history.
Today I see the reward of living healthy - mentally, spiritually, and physically. I’m going to leave you with a quote from Nipsey Hussle. “We got turned down, we failed, had setbacks, had to start over a lot of times. But we kept going at it. In anybody’s case that’s always the distinguishing factor."
