He spoke about his time in Rikers Island, his essention from earning his GED to now about to receive his Doctorate degree. Also, he informs us how he was a founding member of "The Hip Hop Church". Later in the show he dropped so many jewels about how the community needs to step up and police ourselves. How to interact with actual police, and a few programs he has started at Mount Carmel Baptist Church where he is the Pastor. This is probably the most informative and inspiring episode we've had!
