Bio:
I grew up in Plaistow, East London where from a young age I was involved in criminal activity and gang culture. This way of life was looked upon as normal & due to a variety of factors such as ACE's, negative role models, low self-esteem and confidence I went on to make negative choices throughout my teenage years. Drawing from my life experiences, I fundamentally understand the impact a difficult upbringing can have on later life choices as an adolescent, however his own personal journey has shown how a life can be transformed through developing an understanding of self and making a conscious commitment to value yourself and pursue more positive and self-affirming choices
