I worked for homeless services in NY for 2.5 years. During that time, I had the honor of meeting some of the brightest, and darkest, minds. I had various encounters with homeless men and women from all walks of life: an Afro-Cuban man with a degree in mechanical engineering; a graduate from Fordam Law School who had a successful real estate law practice; a man who was a famous jazz musician; the mother of an extremely famous NFL player; a [...]
I use to sit on the handle bars of my sisters bike. It was my way of challenging the laws of physics, “Comeon gravity, catch me if you can.”
