For 32 years, the plight of at-risk teens never crossed my mind. One largely uneventful night changed my life forever. Now, nearly 30 years later, I remain involved in, and motivated by, the disenfranchised youth in our cities. How can we reverse the destructive patterns that many find themselves in? Is there a simple answer to such a complex problem? I offer no one-size fits all solution, but instead share my personal journey with youth I used to ignore.
