O’Brien Dennis’ life has been anything but easy; however, he has not been anything but persistent. He was born and raised on the Island of Jamaica. Dennis was sexually abused while living in the ghettos of Kingston by a trusted neighbor. He was later sexual abuse at age 14 and raped at age 21. For years he lived in denial and shame of the abuse and sought refuge within the church that later shut its doors on him for his candidness and honest demure. Dennis is a recent graduate student at Metropolitan College of New York, where he earned a Masters of Public Administration. He is currently the Executive Director of the O’Brien Dennis Foundation and he is also a training coordinator for a foster-care program in New York City.
