From selling drugs at 11 to leading a gang by 13, Meshach Hewitt’s early life was consumed by the streets of Mount Vernon, NY. At just 20 years old, he was incarcerated for charges related to felony murder, gang leadership, and drug distribution—serving over 17 years behind bars.

But prison became the turning point. Meshach took full accountability for his past and committed to a complete transformation. Immersing himself in education, personal growth, and mentorship, he learned the power of breaking cycles of trauma, poverty, and oppression.

Now the founder of T.R.U.C.3 Inc. (Taking Responsibility & Uniting Communities through 3ducation), Meshach is dedicated to empowering youth and families through credible mentorship, truth-based storytelling, and life-changing education. He returns to the same streets he once ran from—not as a warning, but as living proof that transformation is possible.

This is not just a story about survival—it’s about redemption, rebuilding, and creating real change.
