I talk about the struggles of childhood trauma, drug addiction, being homeless, incarcerated, and hopeless; only to find that I had been rescued and not arrested - Finding my purpose, changing my thinking, and ultimately my behavior. I talk about turning every negative thing that ever happened to me into a positive outcome! (1-3 hours)

Survival of the P.I.M.P

I talk about being a run-a-way and running into a pimp that kidnapped, tortured, and sold me for months until I escaped and lived to tell about it. (1 hour)
