Life Stories #39: MK Asante

MK Asante grew up in '90s "KIlladelphia." His brother was in jail, his mother was in the middle of a breakdown, and his father had walked out--he never formally dropped out of shigh chool, but his real day-to-day was in dealing drugs. Eventually, persuaded to turn his life around, he found himself in a classroom, a blank piece of paper in front of him... and he realized he wanted to fill it. In Buck, we discover the roots of a young poet and filmmaker--and how close we came to not having his art in our world.
