I was always curious, but i wasn't allowed to talk about my dad. My stepfather was an abusive narsissus, so i never speak about my father. How'd you ma me your step dad? Oh, they must have met, maybe. I think i was probably one or two. And that's why i can't remember, but my step dad came from barbadoes. He's from the islands. So he couldn't read or but he had a skill, and he was a master carpenter. That's how he was able to do well in life. Like, he was very illiterate. But as a kid, reading instructions to put together audio interfaces
Not everyone has the luxury of escaping their own childhood trauma, domestic violence, and being able to get out of a gang.
Wally Green, pro athlete and co-founder of Spin NY, joined me on the podcast today to tell his origin story. How much abuse he had to endure from his stepfather, how was he betrayed by his own mother, how he was sent to Africa cause he was caught in possession of multiple guns, and how he managed to turn his life around!
