HARD WAY HOME: The Taylor Code Story
Manage episode 300776127 series 2910131
Street Poets founding member TAYLOR CODE MAXIE Jr. reflects back on his redemptive journey through gangs, gunshot wounds and prison to the kind of poetic power and hard-won wisdom that saves lives – one rhyme at a time. Laced with Taylor's original poetry and music, this episode sheds light and sound on one of our community's most dramatic origin stories. We offer "HARD WAY HOME" as inspiration for all those who've faced death and chosen life.
