I am a returning citizen. I first had handcuffs put on me at 15 years old. Being raised in a toxic environment, I was the youngest of siblings and very insecure. My biggest issue is I never had the confidence to achieve on my own and that led down a very dark path.
Being both incarcerated in the Florida State Prison system and then later in the Federal system for 13 years, I finally learned how to believe in myself.
Now, since being home since 2016 I have founded my dream of giving back the very community I once helped destroy.
In the same streets I once sold drugs in and helping some of the very same individuals I helped destroy, I am now a man of peace who understands the value of life.
I founded Coming Home Coalition to instill hope back into the community by being the change we all want to be.
I created a podcast called "The Thomas FreeMe Show: The truth about living in America" which reaches hopeless ears all across the Nation who then reach out and establish a link with me. I've published my first book titled "The Power of a Positive Mindset" that details my struggles with a negative mindset and what it took to change it into the mindset I have today. I continue to help in anyway I can by making sure I continue on being my best self and leading by example.
