Yeah. And I'm very forward with the incident that I went through to minimize like Attacking my dad with a knife, believing the devil was inside him because at face value, people read that and they're like, oh my God, like it's so hard to fathom. And it's so stigmatized. I faced significant shame ever since that happened. Gone through processes of managing that and my work has reduced that.
But still, to bring something like that to the table, I think helps to be like, okay, like making people have empathy for me, right? With that situation, I think helps other people to have empathy for anyone who goes through something such as that and encourages us to do more so that away, again, people don't get to that crisis point.
Mm-hmm. Initially, the first time that I'd felt significant shame due to my situation was after I'd gotten out of jail. And I went on the Facebook and I looked at the comments on the news articles about me. My mugshot plastered everywhere. Words saying, son bites his father's ear off. The comments, they were making jokes. They were making jokes about Mike Tyson. They were just brutal.
I remember reading those. And I remember... I felt the shame, but also at the same time, I was like, okay, these people, I don't know these people. They're strangers to me. They don't know anything about what had happened. And I just knew that. And I was like, I, so I wasn't like significantly bothered because I was like, I'm still here and I'm going to prove them wrong.
And that probably helped fuel my whole path to in some aspect is that I wanted to show them and I wanted to tell them like, okay, there's so much more to this. And it wasn't just the public who had also shamed me. I heard rumors from people in college, my friends. So there's always been a level of uncertainty with people's comfortableness with me and willingness to do that.
But ever since I've gotten to the point where I am and I'm trying to be more active on social media and everything that I've done so far, like I can see the cognitive shift in people that I've interacted with throughout the years that
I could tell that they built empathy for me and that level of empathy has increased because I've been able to show my perspective, reveal it, and I've been very active with it, which not everyone does and that's okay.
But hopefully if they can have empathy for my incident, maybe when they see something in the news about another incident or something else that happens and they don't know enough about it, maybe they'll have more empathy for that too.
Yeah. Thank you for having me, Tony. I really appreciate this conversation.
