OUR STORY

Where we came from

A couple who defeated all odds. We met while both incarcerated, while Warren was serving a life sentence for a gang-related murder. With a possibility of parole in 2034, later reduced to 2032, we had a far ways to go. We faced many obstacles, legally, having a relationship in prison, getting married in prison, battling everything and everyone that was against us.


We defeated all odds that were against us.... life sentences, gang affiliation, drug association, human trafficking experiences, getting out of prison, stepping away from that lifestyle and conforming back into society. Not only did we defy those odds, but we BEAT them!


We became Entrepreneurs, business owners of multiple businesses, parents of multiple kids, graduates of multiple streams of education and survivors.

​

And now we are here to share our experiences, share our stories and show you how to NOT go down the roads we did, and how to gain the success that we have been fortunate to experience.

​

We have developed our own programming based around our experiences of gang lifestyle and human trafficking, to share with you. To help the youth today steer clear of the criminal justice system.
