From 'victim' to leader; rapper Shocka drops GEMS about how his mental hospital experience, lack of father figure and more built his character as a black man. We also discuss character building in the context of being that 'one black guy' in certain professions and industries. Pioneering ain't easy, but we have the power to be the change we want to see!
