I was assaulted and thrown onto concrete… and that moment changed the next decade of my life. This video tells the real story of what came after: catastrophic facial injuries, around twenty surgeries, chronic pain, and the opioid dependency that grew out of medical treatment. It also tells the other side of it… how trauma, a record, and old labels can make the system look at someone like a criminal before it ever sees the victim. For years, I lived inside pain, anger, survival mode, and the long aftermath of violence. What started as recovery from physical injuries became a battle for my mind, my identity, and my future. This is about trauma, incarceration, addiction, healing, entrepreneurship, and trying to build a life when the scars never fully leave. But it’s also about redemption. I’m not sharing this for pity. I’m sharing it for the people who feel too damaged, too far gone, too misunderstood, or too broken to come back. I know what it feels like to be one of the “worst cases.” And I also know healing is possible… not perfect healing, not fake healing, but real healing that starts from the inside. Today, I want to help others trapped in cycles of abuse, violence, trauma, addiction, and self-destruction. Through mentorship, coaching, inner work, and honest conversation, I want to help people rebuild from the ground up.
