Exposed to a world that most can never even
imagine, Nashon experienced pretty much
every negative effect from growing up in the
hardcore inner-city neighborhoods of Philadelphia. For all intents and purposes, he was a statistic; counted among those who would never
become anything and never make it.
“My dream in life is to help
others fulfill theirs.” –Nashon
At age 19 Nashon faced the hardest season of his life when he was incarcerated on fel-
ony charges that carried a maximum mandatory sentence of 85 years. One would think
the amount of potential jail time was his primary concern, but it was his biological father,
who at the time was his co-defendant, that was the center of his focus. Faced with illiteracy and with little outside support, Nashon’s odds of overcoming this tragedy were
pretty much impossible. It was at this moment in life that change and Nashon's faith in
God became a reality and after serving just an 18 month sentence Nashon was released
from prison.
