  • Ty Da Barber's story of H.O.P.E.
    Jun 25 2025

    I had the pleasure of Ty sharing his story of how his life has changed after numerous times of incarceration. He called them trips.

    He shares with us the courses he took while in prison to help him rewire his mindset so when he got out he wouldn't go back again.

    He was a teacher at a Barber College in Florida, he has many certifications in different industries. Now he's working on getting his CDL License.

    This is a reminder that with the right mindset and determination we can do things that we put our mind to.

    We chatted about how felons will come out of prison and use excuses as to why they can't find a good job & he said something powerful to me. "I know I can't be a Dr or a Lawyer but there are a lot of things I CAN be so that's what I pursued."

  • Tater's story of H.O.P.E.
    Apr 28 2025

    Tater's story is a very POWERFUL story of HOPE!!

    Having come from a broken home with a father that just couldn't beat alcoholism. A mother that fell on hard times with a very abusive man that landed her almost dead int the hospital and she never truly recovered mentally from that.

    Tater tells of how his life went from partying with friends, drinking with co-workers, working in the radio industry not realizing where his addiction was leading him.

    The saying of I'm not going to be like them, was playing in his head until one day he was just like his dad. 08/11/22 Tater started on a new journey of sobriety and now is pursuing his dream of writing music in Nashville.

    Be sure to let us know your feedback on this true story of Struggle to Strength!!
