Bio

Ralph is a survivor of child abuse and domestic violence who delivers a riveting account of how he suffered experiencing violence in the home at the hands of his abusive father. Born to two gang members, Ralph recounts the effects of what he experienced during his childhood; being placed in special education and he himself getting involved with gangs and the criminal justice system at a very young age. Against all odds, Ralph was able to use education and his belief in God to overcome. Ralph didn’t let the trauma, rejection, abandonment and negativity that was handed down to him by his parents stop him from living a life of purpose. The truth he shares is that out of his physical pain, mental pain and spiritual pain, he became strong.
