"Sometimes, you don’t have to be the one in the gang for it to change your life. Sometimes, just knowing the wrong person is enough to pull you into a world you never asked to be in."
Maybe you’re listening to this right now because you’re in that situation. Maybe you feel trapped between loyalty and self-preservation. Or maybe you’ve already walked away, but the scars run deep. Wherever you are on this journey, just know—you’re not alone. And today, we’re going to talk about:
- How association with gang life affects you, even if you’re not in the gang.
- The emotional, mental, and physical toll it takes.
- How to break free, set boundaries, and protect your own future.
