ATTENTION:
To my brothers and sisters who have never been in trouble with the law or been involved in the #streets, please do NOT make the mistake of underestimating the value of this segment of our communities.
If we are to rectify the issues plaguing our communities, men and women with my multifaceted background will be needed (street, #business, and #community service).
Our #youth are being lost to the streets and prisons. Who better to grab their attention than those who have either been there or who are still there.
Even if your child(ren) "made it" or are "making it" out of harms way, as long as there are growing numbers of disenfranchisement in our communities, no one is going to be completely safe.
Don't misjudge me or look down on me/those with my "type of background" because you may be cutting off your best chance of saving your child(ren) and our future.
