In this episode of the 17 Winters Podcast, the roles are reversed as Sidney Black steps in as the interviewer to walk me through the story behind the name.We go back to the days, weeks, and months leading up to the moment that changed everything—the decisions, the environment, the mindset, and the reality of what I didn’t yet understand. This is a raw conversation about how I caught my case, what led to that path, and the sentence that ultimately gave me the name “17 Winters.”This isn’t just about the past—it’s about perspective. It’s about how quickly life can shift, how systems respond, and how a young man becomes a statistic…or something different.If you’ve ever wondered what really leads someone to that moment—and what it feels like when it all comes down—this is that story.From prison to purpose. This is where it started.
