Nearly 18 years in group homes and foster homes, being physically and sexually abused, then at age 11 he ran away and spent 6 months homeless on the streets of Cleveland, until finally a woman by the name of  Ruth E. Plowden - who was CL King's foster mom, told him that he could take all of the tragedies he experienced as a child and use them to make excuses...or use them to change the world!  I am so excited to tell you, that he has decided to use his experiences, TO CHANGE THE WORLD!
