Ghetto Celebrity

Andre
Craig
Hello, I’m Andre “Vegas” Craig. So glad you stopped by to check me out! You may not be judgmental, but I feel obligated to let you know how I got here…
I’m from the Eastside of Cleveland, Ohio; a big city with the worst poverty rate, so getting caught up in the street life was easy, not to mention that that all the men I admired in my family were either hustlers, players, or conmen. That’s the life I chose for myself as a teenager; a high-school dropout pursuing hustling fulltime. Wasn’t long before I had everything money could buy… I’d become a “Ghetto Celebrity” – everyone screamed my name!
The flipside was
paranoia and sleepless nights; neglected relationships because streets are 24/7;
loved ones lost to violence; mom stressed out waiting for that phone call telling
her to come identify the body of her son… I became accustomed to death
and destruction; that’s the part of the game nobody wants, but can’t
avoid!!
In my mid-twenties, federal authorities crushed my world with a ten year prison
sentence… All those screams have faded to echoes… Once in prison
I realized I didn’t have to sell drugs, and can do other things, so I
let go of the past and old friends (wasn’t hard since most never kept
in touch) and started fresh.
Once a high-school dropout, now G.E.D. tutor, college student, HVAC technician, receiving my apprenticeship to become a Teacher’s Aid (I will assist troubled youth in detention centers / group homes).
I’m looking to meet a God-fearing woman to share laughs, conversation, and spiritual/emotional support. Maybe we have some things in common, or maybe you’re totally unfamiliar with anything I’ve been through – either way it’s cool. Having things in common makes a good friendship, but exploring the differences makes it even better. I look forward to your support.
Respectfully,
Andre “Vegas”
