  • A vulnerable child, misled by the streets, transforms through self-analysis and reflection, becoming a man redeemed.
    "I am of the philosophy of love and consideration. I believe that I am seen as rational and fair and my overall aim in this life is to administer compassion to this world abroad by any means necessary. Being on this stage at TEDxDonovanCorrectional is fulfilling a dream of mine to share my personal story with the world with the hope that it reaches someone in a way they have not felt before."
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    This is a child hood friend of mine, we were in a car together once being chased and shot at over a hang war, to hear him speak like this brought tears to my eyes and made me sit back and analyze my whole life past and present and after hearing this I vow to make changes in my life today..God bless you homie..

    "Shadow" of fear (fear in eyes - closed inside\open door), extended in my mind and seems - vain hope (sardonic mood)...finally accepted by love.

    Exceptional talk! It might be the most quotable 10 minutes I've ever heard. Azeez, your ability to eloquently articulate pearls of wisdom is truly exceptional! And you are a powerful speaker! So very inspiring.

    I am an instructor at Donovan Correctional and this wonderful, inspiring man is one of my students. I can attest to the power of transformation, as he is a devoted and dedicated, hard working student who make me proud to be a teacher. Wishing him the best future and much joy as he moves forward with his life.

      I grew up with him and ran the streets of Long Beach with him, he is a beautiful soul, this feels in alot of Blanks, especially our connection, I despised bullies also, but moreso, this saddens me, because of the hand he is playing out right now, but I know his time is coming to return to home, we speak every now and then. He is a very good dude!!
