WELCOME! EYE AM AK HALL…

So, let me give you my testimony in a nutshell, if you have a minute. You have a minute right?

When I was 5 months old, I was ripped from my mother’s arms and taken into custody by the State of Louisiana because my mother was sentenced to 5 years in prison for check fraud. At the time I didn’t understand the significance of that moment but,as my young brain began to develop, at some point I realized that was just the beginning of my darken path. But wait, it gets darker...

My father? He was a heroin addict who was non-existent in my life and I lived without his presence. 

I saw a glimpse of light when I was adopted but the light was extinguished because the family that adopted me gave me back to the state’s custody at the age of 11 because of my behavior. I was devastated! I grew up confused because in my mind, how can parents just give up on a child?

From that point, I lived in a group home for 5 years fighting and rebelling against authority because every form authority I had ever known failed me; afraid to love because everyone I loved left me. It gets darker...

I ran away from the group home at 16 years old and the street life took ahold of my conscious. I began selling drugs, robbing, and snatching purses simply to find a dollar to survive.  It gets darker...

At 17 years old I was sentenced to 8 years in prison for snatching a purse. 8 years later I was released from prison with no idea how to function with only 17 years of living experience and had to re-adapt to civilian life at the age of 25. Talk about a culture shock! But wait, it gets darker...

At 27 years of age I was back into trouble, but this time I was seen as having my third strike. The D.A. told me to stay in jail for 24 years or accept going to jail for life! I was called a menace to society and did not deserve to live a regular life.  At this point, I thought my life was over and I would have to remain in jail for the remainder of my life.

A glimpse of light came after a year of being in jail fighting not to take 24 years or life that I got bonded out. I start working at a restaurant, but the money wasn’t enough to pay bills and a lawyer. The darkness tried to creep back, but the light was getting stronger...

I quit my job at the restaurant not knowing where I was going to get my next dollar from, but I knew I was tired of feeling like a failure and knew I had a gift inside that was being contained just waiting to be released. The next day I responded to an ad that led me into the world of direct sales and I found my niche! 

Suddenly, the light became brighter and my life started to become different. I finally felt as if I was on the right path instead of staying in a dark hole. I never expected to be good in the field of sales but I became hooked and invested time and energy to perfecting my craft to consistently make a six-figure salary. The light now shines bright, and guess what, its blinding!

I give my story in the most humble way,

knowing that the WIN for me isn’t the monetary gain. Rather the wisdom I gained from the struggles that gave birth to AK HALL and my POETRY🙏🏾

Let’s BE BETTER TOGETHER 💡🧠✊🏾

From my mind to yours…YALL KNOW WHAT IS…
