Here’s a brief bio for James:
*
I was born in east Los Angeles June 12 1984.I grew
up in the san Fernando valley I grew up as a PK a pastors kid.
Growing up in ministry had it’s up’s and downs. Somewhat neglected
in a way my pops was really busy with his ministry. I seen many
things at a young age, even though I wasn’t in a street gang the
life was around in our neighborhood. You would think id live up to
my dads life.
*
As I was growing up I faced many situations that I
put myself into our just happened to be at the wrong place wrong
time type scenario. Introduced to weed at a young age. I found
myself trying to make a name for myself in the graffiti world.
Didn’t know how crazy that could get.
*
Then I experienced my first arrest GTA a friend
stole a car and we went out for a joy ride. A few miles later and a
whole squad of cop cars a helicopter and a k9 were looking for me.
We where caught and went to the station where they grilled us but
let us go after our parents came to pick us up.
*
Later one of the most tragic thing happened I lost
a good friend and that opened my eyes to see that real life hit
home. That’s when me and a really good friend/brother wrote and
produced a drama depicting real life stories of addiction a street
life a drama about young youth trying to find a purpose in the very
streets I grew up in.
*
I later became a at risk youth intervention
specialist. Where I mentored and worked with young teens headed
towards a life of possible jail and or prison that was on the verge
of being in gangs.
*
Even though I was doing this at a time I was being
harassed my cops detectives. They where trying to get information
on a shooting that happened just steps from my front door. With
nothing to give them they threatened me with charges of firing a
weapon. They claimed the victim a person I knew and had no problems
with just a homie from the city. Well they said he was hit with two
different calibers, but they found three different casings at the
scene. They claim I fired the third in order to save my friend,
which was not true.
*
Later I would get married have kids, years later
with a divorce and past drug use and depression I thought about
ending my life for a split second. After quitting the drug use I
found myself going back to church and this is where I Had the
desire to share people stories and that’s how the podcast came to
be.
