As a teenager, after being placed in multiple group homes and foster homes, he is caught up in the hustling lifestyle and soon finds himself in a courtroom pleading guilty to a crime that he didn't commit. While incarcerated, he is forced to face the skeletons of his past before he can begin on his path to redemption.Coming From Where I'm From is a compilation of pain, resilience, struggle and forgiveness of himself, and others.
