I was born and raised in Philadelphia, PA. I was growing up with the civil rights movement in a city that was constantly in flux. My chief educational tool was my pool cue. I travelled throughout a gang ridden city playing hustler and interacting with all kinds of people. My family always stressed education but did not say how. I was/am a product of "alternative education" (the education of the streets). I attended Electronics School and went to work for AT&T. BORING. I slipped into an HBCU, Delaware State University. This is where I had my epiphany. I could travel, make money and have fun running my mouth. More to come.
