Raised in the crime-afflicted streets of Chicago, the "Wild Hundreds", Anthony shares his transformation from a life of violence and incarceration to one filled with hope, faith, and perseverance. He talks about the impact of his upbringing, the allure and eventual disillusionment with gang life, and how he found solace and purpose through Christ. Anthony now focuses on giving back to the community through various charitable works and creative projects, including writing books, plays, and songs. His message emphasizes the importance of never giving up and trusting in God's plan for redemption and renewal.
