I was chopping it up with my brother
@abbeyrizzle talking bout the influence of the elder and visionary leadership of Ben Caldwell which prompted this post.
Ben Caldwell was and has been a visionary leader. He has been so much to so many. I came in contact with him in 1986-87 through a group called Poetic Style who were also from my neighborhood of Athens Park. At the time he was operating I-Fresh which also became a movie I was involved in. He created a safe space for me dodging bullets, gangs, and police. This honor is beyond overdue and well deserved. I am a product of his guidance and am forever in service. I am because he is.

This picture of me is a still from the movie I-Fresh. I was 14 at Ladera Park with a fucked up ass hair cut
