Madness to Surrender
Curtis Reliford was born and raised on Elm Grove Plantation in the Deep South of Louisiana. Growing up, he witnessed people being divided by racism and bigotry. As a result, he became rebellious and angry and started using his fists to defend himself and his voice to fight for his rights. He did not expect to live past 25.
Curtis left the plantation running, with no direction and no purpose. As he traveled the country, he got shot, stabbed, and thrown out of a 7-story building. Years later he ended up in jail. There, he met a Native American Shaman who awakened him to change his life.
In 1984, Curtis became clean and sober. Then in 2005, he started “Follow Your Heart Action Network,” a non-profit organization which delivers food, clothing, and building materials to people in need. Curtis’ purpose is to promote peace, love, and kindness wherever he goes.
This is his story.
