Liberty City in Miami Florida is where I grew up and spent
some of the toughest years of my life. Liberty City is known as
one of the toughtst crime-ridden cities in the U.S. Statistics say
that over 70 percent of young African-American Males die a
violent death, turn to crime, or are incarcerated before the
age of 21. Drugs, Prostitution, and gang violence are a fixture
of everyday life. I just didn't want to sell drugs, I didn't want
to be on the corner, I wanted to do something Bigger, I wanted
to do something Great! So I made up my mind I was going to use dance as an outlet, and I was going to use dance as an exit.
