I was used to being treated like a thug, a criminal. As a Black man who is over 6 feet tall, I am used to people seeing me as a threat. Not ROAR, they told me right off that I deserved to be treated with compassion and to be loved. That my past did not define my present or my future. That changed me. It actually opened me up in ways that have only been good.
