FOUNDER/DIRECTOR
When a child is born into nothing,
and watches a mother transform absolutely nothing into something; it can be
empowering and a life changing experience.
The firstborn offspring of parents who were sharecroppers in South
Carolina , during the latter and most politically charged period of the Civil
Rights Movement. His very young mother abandoned
the racist south with a barely two-month-old child, to start a new life up
North with nothing more than a bus ticket and the clothes on their backs.
