Summary

I grew up surrounded by both privilege and turmoil. My early life in South East London was marked by a comfortable home life until family strife and financial collapse sent us into hardship. Rejected and driven by a desire to belong, I fell into a dangerous world of gangs, drugs, and crime. Through brutal experiences of violence and near-destruction, I hit rock bottom. In the midst of despair, I found a lifeline at the Patel recovery community where I encountered the transforming power of Jesus. That moment changed everything—renewing my identity, healing my brokenness, and setting me on a new path filled with hope and purpose.
