I am a brother who is from New York, recently graduated from Columbia Law School and now just kicking back a year. Modeling helped me get through college.
I am not a model head, I used it to get my degree. Getting ready to spend about 12 months In Africa, and then going to take the NYSBAR.
Wish me good luck..
Love Music,
Not Hip Hop That shit is Garbage these days. Was kinda put through the City Family Court and then shelter system's
My Momz kinda just dropped me off and never came back.
I was angry as a child always fighting, bitter, rebellious. I was in over 40 different homes in my 11 years in the System
Graduated out of High School and turned 18
(I was really just 16 and they just gave me $800 dollars and I was gone, on the streets of New York I got a small apartment I couldn't afford and after 4 months I was basically on the streets.
Was walking in Harlem, wondering where I would sleep, I slept on the park bench at 110th street and Central Park, I was there with the drug dealers and the pimps and hoes.
I was so close to selling drugs myself,but I just couldnt do it!
I Tried to steal this bike from this guy, he left it outside while he went inside to get something from the store. Got on the bike and the next thing I feel this huge arm on my shoulders.
That man was Youman Wilder and he smacked the shit out of me I was seeing stars, and he was screaming on me and he is desiel as Hell"
I thought he was gonna beat my ass all up 110th street. But he didn't he took the bike and rode off.
Then like several hours later he is walking down the street with his girl and I said I was sorry and I was just hungry.
That brother took me into the restaurant and bought me a huge meal gave me $20 and said call him if I needed help.
I called him at 4am and he let me sleep on his couch.
Then he went and cosigned for me to get a little studio and he paid the rent,
all he asked was that I go to school, and I did, and he has been there for me now for 8 years.
Brother has been there for me like I was his son, his blood.
To those who have never had that stigma of ever not being wanted, this was a new experience for me.
That some one would care and love me,that was all new to me.
I rememebered when I had the flu and Karen came and took care of me, made me stay in bed,made sure I took my medicine,and gave me a flu shot.
Oh She is Dr.Karen Shoremakin and she dont take no mess.
Then Youman came and we watched college basketball all day from Noon till Midnight(March Madness) That's when I knew I was loved for real.
I still cry and shake my head sometimes when I know that he gave me a family.
He is the only person In my entire life who has never left me or let me down.
When I took my SAT's he got me a tutor and prepared me.
Youman taught me about Inner Love and he told me there was GOD Jesus. He taught me about how to speak to a women.
He taught me what a condom was.
He taught me that Black Women are Queens
He showed me how to study, how to pray.
He taught me that the best way to get even with people was to LIVE WELL
He Taught me Karate. (When I got my Black Belt I. Cried Like a Baby.)
When I got Into Columbia I ran to him like I was a 4 year old.
When I Graduated from Columnbia he was there.
(Proudest Moment Of My Life) It is so true that only a man can make a man and raise a man.
When I have my kids I will know how to raise my S.E.E.D because I had a man, a real strong African King make me a man.
Youman Wilder I love you and Karen Kia Shoremakin you both are the most important people In my life.
If I could have ever picked a DAD you are the only one I would have picked.
Now I am just going to do some volunteer work in Africa,Darfur, Senegal and Libya.
I am going to work with the Peace Corps.
Going to teach there for about a year and then come back and take the NYSB and get on with my law career
I USED TO THINK I WAS CURSED.YOUMAN SHOWED ME I WAS BLESSED
