On this episode of the Stories to Create Podcast, Cornell Bunting sat down with Miami's own Vaugh Young, author of Uncuffed, to discuss his remarkable journey to freedom—both within and beyond prison walls. Joining the conversation was Bernard Faithful, a longtime friend of Vaugh Young, who saw an opportunity to connect the two authors, Cornell and Vaugh, recognizing parallels in their powerful stories.
The conversation began in Miami, where Vaugh grew up and grappled with the absence of active parents in his life. He opened up about channeling his anger into fights at a young age, which eventually led to his incarceration. Vaugh reflected on the invaluable advice he received from the first police officer who arrested him and shared the hard lessons learned during his time behind bars.
The discussion seamlessly shifted between stories from prison, life on the streets, and his experiences working for law enforcement. Vaugh also revealed his aspiration to rise above his circumstances and become the leader he always envisioned. He recounted how the confines of prison became the unlikely setting for his personal transformation, serving as a backdrop for discovering liberation and purpose. Ultimately, Vaugh shared how he shed the chains of societal expectations and self-doubt to live an uncuffed life.
This heartfelt conversation painted a vivid picture of Vaugh Young’s journey to redemption and self-empowerment.
