Real Talk from a Survivor of the Streets- The OG Jewels - Kamal Imani

I was born in Harlem and raised in the Bronx NY as well as NJ to a single mother who used to faint and have nervous breakdowns due to lack of money because our 3 fathers weren't paying child support. In the city there were criminals, murderers, child molestors, gamblers, pimps and hustlers all around me. There was the influence of gang culture. Many of my friends ended up dead, in jail or in mental institutions, but some have become successful. Somehow, by the grace of God , I'm here to give you some short cuts on how I survived and flourished. I have lots of stories. This is just scratching the surface with the hope that you can grab a few jewels and don't have to go through some of the things that I went through.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/real-motivation-for-elevation--5927428/support.
