I used to think life was all about money, but now I realize that just being free and living life can make you happy.

I hate that I came to prison, but honestly, Iโ€™m grateful for the opportunity because I found myself. I really understand me now, how to love and care for myself, and how to deal with my feelings and emotions. It feels good to see this other side of me. Growing up with no parents, dealing with childhood trauma, and having no one to take care of or love me really hurt. That kind of pain can either make you or break you, and I can honestly say I almost broke, until I found God and changed. It wasnโ€™t easy, but I did it with little support.

I have seven sisters and three brothers. God really built me like the Hulk, because my mind and body are right. Now, all I need are friends, people to reach out, show me love, care for me, and communicate. Iโ€™m all ears and eyes and a great person to conversate with.

I miss food, and being around humans without being judged. I learned from an old friend that sometimes all you have to do is come out of your shell and reach out. Iโ€™m a very shy person. I used to think life was all about money, but now I realize that just being free and living life can make you happy.

I have a 12 year old daughter named Promise, and she means the world to me. She motivates me every day to be strong and happy. Loyalty, trust, respect, and honesty mean a lot to me. I love playing sports especially football and track. I had seven scholarships to Division I colleges, but I chose the streets. Poetry is beautiful. It relaxes my mind and body. I love R&B music.
