From Gang Member to Founder: The Inspiration Behind THUG Mansion

​

I never imagined that my experiences as a gang member would lead me to where I am today - the founder of THUG Mansion, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping individuals overcome the challenges of gang involvement, substance abuse, and incarceration. But it's exactly those experiences that have driven my passion to create a better future for those who, like me, have struggled to find their way out of the cycle of violence and addiction.

When I first joined a gang, I thought it would give me a sense of belonging and purpose. But soon enough, I found myself in a downward spiral of violence, drugs, and prison. It wasn't until I was introduced to a spiritual program and found spiritual guidance that I was able to turn my life around. I realized that there were others like me who needed the same support and guidance in order to change their lives for the better.

That's why I created THUG Mansion - to provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals to overcome their challenges and achieve recovery, using the same principles that helped me. Our programs include spiritual guidance, a 12-step based therapeutic community, life skills training, and social enterprise initiatives.

​

We are currently in the process of raising funds to open a physical location for THUG Mansion, but in the meantime, we are reaching out to the community through online support groups and fundraising efforts. We are also constantly exploring new ways to generate funds and create job opportunities for our participants.

I am proud of the progress we have made so far and am excited for the future of THUG Mansion. I truly believe that our organization can make a positive impact on the lives of individuals and communities affected by gang involvement and substance abuse. I hope that my story can inspire others to join our cause and support our mission to make a difference in the lives of those in need.
