Phil Aguilar: Childhood Trauma Recovery & The Dive Stage (Ep. 38)
Manage episode 343146039 series 3304030
Phil Aguilar grew up in Anaheim, aka “Clanaheim,” where he was the darkest kid in town. He asked his mom to buy better soap so that he could be white like his friends. His mom told him, “Don’t be speaking any Spanish in class,” and helped him learn to speak without an accent. His childhood was happy until the day he saw his father violently punch his mother, and “my mom took the blame from that day forward.” Watching the escalating violence took a toll on young Phil. He started the Ollie St. Crew and began causing trouble. “Hurt people, hurt people,” Phil says. He was at war with the whole world. Drugs, crime, and prison forced him to look deeper.
