Born and raised in Baltimore, Md... Lived throughout most of all the districts in Baltimore, 42 years old(North, South, East, West). Have very supportive and proud parents all of my life. However, the difference is, my parent made sure I was very diversified in streets, to the political seat problems, blacks face in america and Baltimore. Being to smart, for my own good,( most agreed) had its good and bad advantages. Leaders are READERS and that I was but having pro-black parents and a family, that could give you the truth. Made it easy, to lead any pack of wolves(in the right or wrong direction). I admit, throughout my growth. Ive lead many in good and bad direction but never without letting them know, Im learning to, as we go. Being young, smart and a lion heart to voice truth, has always had me marked for death and that's has alwayz been known to me since birth. So, any stance I make for my beliefs or PEOPLE, is a stance of DEATH, it is a stance that I know is factual and proof. Yes, people are willing to stand on such truth with me. Having such courage and leadership merits, is what got me accused of a murder in 1994, so that my voice, my purpose and my coming of age gifts, couldn't be shared with the captives and have-notts of the world and Baltimore. I know this to be true because today and for the last 20plus years( after being acquitted of all charges on the murder and released Dec 27 1997). The (PFK) PLAYINGFORKEEPS/PRAYINGFORKEEPS Spirit I brought out of Maryland's prison, has allowed me to come as far, to speak back in prisons, mentor youth, speak in schools, city hall, ANNAPOLIS and the capitol of DC. Been to many states and coast, with the message to the mess/age. Since the unrest of April272015 and the burning ashes. I am the co-founder of #300GANGSTAS Movement(a movement, that formed, from within the dusk), with founder Robert Wolfe. Unity, community policing, give backs, interventions, conflict resolution, etc. So in all, we was taught and experienced, in our trails and tribulation on Life's Highwayz. My road(story)is just a tear-drop in the ocean but if my story, can save harm or warn another human(any human). Then let my movement and men, mindz AND purpose, help U surface your greatness....... We all we got, We all we Need....
