Mike Africa, Jr.
I was born in a jail cell.
My parents were sentenced to 200 years in prison for a crime they did not commit.
I grew up in the hood in West Philly.
I lived through the crack epidemic that took many of my friends to prison and early graves.
At age 6 the police dropped a bomb on my family.
I saw the smoke and fire that killed 11 of my people.
At age 13 I started working to free my parents. It was #hardwork. But I never gave up.
Inspiring change one move at a time.
