INK MAG: When did you first recognize yourself as a writer? And what was the driving force behind crafting “Change the Game” and opening up about your journey of overcoming adversity?

From the early days, I had a passion for writing, which began with short stories and music. However, it was during my time incarcerated that I truly grasped the power of writing as a potential pathway to change my circumstances. I saw writing as a way out! The inspiration for “Change The Game” struck me after my second book was published. During a trunk show, a curious reader asked about my story. That was when I realized the significance of my own journey and what it took to reach where I stand today. While I didn’t immediately start writing the book, that initial spark planted the seed.
