I grew up fast, having been exposed to the true realities of life early on (drugs, gang violence, murder, etc). Growing up in the poverty-stricken city of East St. Louis, Illinois, my childhood was non-existent.

As you can imagine, my life testimony began as early as age 12, many trials and tribulations later subjecting me to circumstances beyond my own control as my environment contributed to my incarceration at 18.

Unfortunately, having been trusted into the system at such a young age ultimately deprived me of really experiencing what life truly has to offer. Merely just the 89 blocks, East. St. Louis, Illinois, consists of.

Taking the good with the bad in turning a negative into a positive, I refocused my attention on positive and productive aspects by furthering my education, having earned my GED, two associate degrees, and currently working on self-publishing my very own urban magazine.

I’ve reached a different level of maturity now at the age of 29 where now more than ever before, I’m open and willing and curious to meet new people, take in different vibes/energies, experience different personalities, learn about different ethnological backgrounds and simply see what else life has to offer.

I genuinely have, but one expectation and that’s to converse with genuine people and enjoy the genuineness in conversations.

Now, as to exactly where these interactions may lead us, I’m openly optimistic about all possibilities.
With that said, I sincerely hope/pray that I’ll hear from you soon.
