Multi-Dimensional IN·tel·li·gence

In our Season 3 Finale, Clifton sits down with a former guest of "trans4mation RADIO", Darius Lavale to discuss what's next for Darius and how he went from porn to acting, to school, while fighting addiction and depression.

ABOUT OUR GUEST: My name is Darius Lavale aka The Icon Kidd and my journey has been one of strength and survival, dealing with low self-esteem, acceptance, bullying, abandonment, depression, addiction, and validation. I was born and raised overseas (military brat) and at the age of 12, after my mother and stepfather divorced, we relocated to Augusta Georgia. I am the oldest of three children, but I’ve always considered myself the black sheep.

From the abandonment of a father, that I am just now getting to know at the age of 40, the lack of acceptance from my peers as a child, being teased by the other black kids because my skin color was lighter and a mental health disorder that wasn’t fully diagnosed until the age of 19. In my late teens, early 20s and on and off in my 30’s I struggled with self-medicating in order to cope and deal with life while searching for validation in others and learning to love myself.

Like many other young adults searching for themselves I dove into a world of adult entertainment and escorting as a way of finding validation and acceptance but also in a way to protect my heart from being broken and abandoned. Dealing with bipolar and borderline personality disorder, my life seemed so hard and led me to make a lot of poor decisions which resulted in rape, domestic violence, and promiscuous sex.

Now at the age of 40 thanks to self-love, I have gone back to school and changed my whole way of living and thinking. My purpose is to help those who struggle with loving themselves as well as helping the underdog realize their self-worth and importance. Addiction is something that I yet battle along with depression, but life has gotten better and I am starting to experience a turnaround. Discovering myself at the age of 39 and finding a new way of living that coincides with my evolution as a human being and spirit has been a challenge yet rewarding.

ABOUT TODAY'S BONUS EPISODE: How free do you feel? What are you free to do? How do you know what freedom feels like? These are just a few examples of questions that surround the topic of "freedom." Though well-intended, sometimes questions of this nature can lead to a misconception of what freedom is. Perhaps you've been waiting to "feel" free when you've been free all along. In this conversation, we address the question, "What is freedom?"
