man i am a ex gangmember also i am not hiding my past, I was left my my parents at 13 to fend for myself on the streets of chicago. I was in and out of trouble as a kid. I hustled, gangbanged and alot of other things. Never armed robbery though.
I did a ton of stupid shit growing up in chicago. Do you want to talk about the family members i have in prison too? I was always known as a straight up guy. I used what i had to pay rent on a few of my familys homes, i bought many of them vehicles, i made christmas fun for all my neice and nephews.
It is were i fist learned about how to run a business before i got a degree.
I wear tats all over my body showing were i came from i do not hide my life i am not ashamed of it either. When i got older i wised up, went legit and made a better life for myself and my family and never looked back to that life.
but i NEVER EVER hurt those around me or stole from my people. Like i said i was in the game for 10+ years and i will tell anyone who wants to know. I actually enjoy talking to youngsters about the stupid choices i made and tell them how to do better and what that life brings you. But my past made me who i am today
