I was born and raised in Bridgeport, Connecticut in a time when gangs, drugs, violence, and murder plagued my neighborhood. My entire adolescent focus was to establish myself in the hierarchy of the streets. Through a series of bad choices and conforming to low expectations, I found myself entangled in a web of despair with no way out. Desperate for a better life for me and my children, I had to muster the strength to claw my way out of the hole I buried myself into and brake free of the chains that kept me bound for so many years.
