The Truth

I am a man of very few words. When it comes to talking... I try let my life and actions to speak for me!! What have I been through, What have I done? Well lets take a ride..... I was born on Mothers Day, May 11th (For the record: Min. Farrakhan and I were born on the same month/day! Know your his-story?) I was programmed at Clover High School, Clover, SC on June 7th, 1987 and de-programmed at the MILLION MAN MARCH, Oct. 16th, 1995. Witnessed my brothers death, after a fatal shooting, later found myself writing my brother's murderer in prison (by the way he's my cousin). A few months later, I devised a creative writing concept called "T.H.U.G." (T.rue H.ealing U.nder G.od) Get it? Presently, "T.H.U.G. Foundation" is in 13 states (and reaches as far as Japan) writing over 450 inmates monthly. One day I wrote Al Sharpton in jail, (because of a non-violent protest). To my surprise, HE WROTE BACK, called me and I've had the extreme pleasure of working with him..... since 2001. After meeting one of the most powerful blackmen in the country...the Light came on once again! I then proceeded to address issues that affect US! (You know US.... the people of the Sun?).In 2002, I found myself in front of local courthouses addressing the need to make Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday an official holiday!! (The response: I got Gaston County, NC, Union County, NC & York County, SC All aproved within a year!!) I guess Malcolm & Martin are smiling! I'm a motivational speaker that love to see people change their course/mindset, after God allows me to open my mouth! I have one son and his name is Johnathan "Malik" and he is 9 years old going on 29. He loves to play football, basketball and listening to New Edition (he has NO choice)! I'm presently on a tour speaking to youth along the east coast! (300 engagemnets to date)! The tour is called the "Pull Up Your Pants Tour".

Holla, Truth ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
