Davis, was born to Constance and John Davis; being one of four brothers I grew up in the Tasker Homes Projects in south Philadelphia where I witnessed the underbelly of human nature and learned the harsh facts of life one experiences growing up in the ghetto.
I sustained many painful lessons from my environment, which periodically caused me to inflict understanding upon others, which groomed and prepared me for life’s many trials and adventures. I attended Alcorn Elementary School and graduated at Audenried Jr. High; however, I never completed high school, and like many young men my age, I was led by older youth to participate in crime.
By no fault of my loving parents, who gave my brothers, Darryl, Aaron, Terrence, and I moral guidance, love and, when possible, financial support to face the hardships that life would certainly bring; I nevertheless fell victim to my environment. Today, I look back and to my parents, who have been married over forty years, and thank them for all they have done.
Having survived the fate of the juvenile and later the criminal justice system, I decided it was time for a change, so I endeavored to educate myself. I started with learning how to communicate effectively and the ethical and technical aspects of business administration while attending Montgomery County College and Villanova. I also learned the trade of carpentry, HVAC and Masonry. At thirty-two years old, I am actively participating in redeveloping communities through making necessary residential repairs and teaching young men and women how to involve themselves positively in their communities, and someday I envision starting a publishing and distribution company called the Davis Project, LLC. for up-and-coming writers, poets, and authors struggling to get their work known.view less
