My Early Stages
Growing up at age 7 i witnessed sitting on my front steps a man get shot and killed for his Phoenix Suns Starter jacket pullover. I truly set there stunned until my older brother came outside picked me up and brought me in the house. That moment always replayed in my mental to never get caught off guard and always stay ready in this violent community. Having guns,drugs,sex,crime,and pain at my finger tips daily gave me rightful reasons to become a product of my environment. At the age of 29 I have spent my last 7years of my life dedicated to motivating others to come out of a "deathstyle" and into enjoying a real lifestyle.
The Spread
The Four Bad's causes people to develop a mentality that leads them to ultimate destruction.
Bad Examples
Bad Advice
Bad Information
Bad Instructions
The four "bad's" collectively lay down a pattern for kids to follow after that causes them to have a very destructive attitude and negative outlook on life. A 6 year old being shown how to cuss people out with slang phrases like "shut the F-up you not my daddy trick" will think that's how one is supposed to talk. Picture a child running home from the park to his older brother saying "I just got pushed off the swings by this other kid" the big brother says "you should of got up and hit him in the mouth but here, take this rock, go back up there, and bust him in his head. You don't let nobody punk you for nothing at all, ok?" Now the kid knows its ok to cause harm to anyone that try's to "punk" him and its all fair to use a weapon that could possibly kill him.
So right there this kid is receiving bad advice, bad information, and bad instructions that develops a destructive mindset. This is killing our kids daily and keeping our society infected by this fast spreading disease called HIV which is Hood Infectious Virus. My position in the community and as a leader is to take action in bringing awareness of this illness and a solution/treatment to the problem.

Violent Side Affects
Input Thursdays
We all in this Nation in some way are affected by the violence in our community. Rather what we continuously see on the news, what we hear in music, see on television, what our kids get exposed to, and what some of us see daily. Violence will cause some to not feel safe driving to the grocery store, some to be addicted to the violence in the community, and some just truly not care about it and are numb to it. This issue of violence is at an all time high, its because we go about it the wrong way. We must approach the issue like a Doctor would a sick patient. It is a highly contagious disease that is spread easily like a common cold. I myself was once infected with this disease that almost caused me to lose my life either to a long term prison sentence or a life time commitment to a casket. The following link is a prime example of how this epidemic disease is spread.

To summarize the link above, a man gets rejected by a woman he attempts to talk to in the mall. He tried to talk her into issuing out her number to possibly meet for a date. The Man got so angry, hurt, and felt disrespected that he chose to respond with violence. People are sick and have a hard time dealing with pain. This is what I consider to be emotional residue which is anger, fear, and pain. If not dealt with properly pain mask itself in Fear which leads to alcohol, drugs, sex, depression and the list goes on, Pain also mask itself in Anger which leads to violence and murder. This something we must teach people how to deal with because majority don't know. In the movement I belong to called MadeMen we teach our youth to immediately separate yourselves from everyone and go to your room and Blezz up which is have a talk with God in other words pray. Then call someone like mind in quality or one of our mentors. We personally go deal with them whenever they call in person or over the phone. That's one step that we teach them that to my knowledge works because it keeps me very busy with phone calls and house visits and not from the same teens. Not just teens but everyone needs to learn that violence is not the answer to your problems because it causes more issues. Based on what we consider the 4 Bads like Bad Advice, Bad Example, Bad Instructions, and Bad Information our people remain lost until they can become aware of the illness of violence, be healed from the illness, and adopt a new way of dealing with issues.
