Silky Slim: Former Gang Leader's Shocking Escape from a Life of Crime

In this episode of From Behind This Chair, I'm sitting down with my guy, Silky Slim. This one hits deep. Silky shares his journey from a childhood full of pain and abuse to a life of survival, addiction, and violence. He talks about a moment when he decided not to run from conflict, and how that shaped him into the man he is today.

We get real about what it's like to be stuck in the system, how he learned to read while locked up, and how he refused to let prison "incarcerate" his mind. Silky also opens up about the corruption in the justice system and the divine moments that kept him from giving up.

From his time on the streets to his spiritual awakening, we cover it all. Silky's work with Stop the Killing Inc. and his mission to break the cycle of violence in our communities is at the heart of this conversation.

Tune in for raw, honest talk on trauma, faith, and the journey to redemption. This is one you don't want to miss.
