In this episode, we delve into a topic that has been haunting suburban black males for far too long: incarceration. Josiah Velazquez(my son) shares his unfiltered and unapologetic story of his journey through federal prison, following in the footsteps of his father.
Despite having dreams of playing in the NFL, Josiah found himself behind bars. But even in the darkest of times, he found the strength to rise above his circumstances. During his time in prison, he read more books than ever before, preparing himself for a brighter future.
In this open and honest conversation, Josiah shares his struggles with substance abuse and his journey to becoming a dream chaser. He also opens up about the challenges of re-entering society after being locked up.
This story is about resilience, determination, and the unbreakable spirit that runs through this family. It's a testament to the power of love, support, and the unyielding belief in oneself.
