I am 64 years old and next month I will have 17 years clean and sober and 17 years is also how long I have been free from prison after doing 22 years of back and forth sentences. I promote that as a human being each and everyday we have an opportunity to give a strong demonstration. All by myself I am in the process of leaving a legacy while building an empire. I was able to give back to my community by hiring people that didn't have nothing going on for them and needed a chance and I have also been stabbed in the back by some of the people that I have helped. As a business owner I have had to do jobs by myself because people I gave a chance faked on me. Yes for the most part I have did everything on my own by making decisions that would advance my position in life even with all the opposition of racism and jealousy. It's very hard and grueling at times but I have African Warrior tattooed on my stomach and I man the f**k up and make it happen without asking or requiring help. Yes I need help like the help I have offered and provided for others but I don't ask for it because even at 64 years old I am Mf'n built like that. Some have taken advantage of my kindness and thinks that I owe them but fk them because I only owe myself peace and spiritual freedom after all the hell I subjected myself to by bad choices in the past. Just for the day I am free from mental,spiritual and physical bondage....
