By: Masters Audio Club Born in jail to an incarcerated mother, Lorenzo struggled with depression and anxiety throughout his youth. At 17, he almost reentered the system of mass incarceration; Lorenzo is now dedicated to the empowerment, wealth building, and wellness of others. His passion to help underserved folks like himself break into the free market led him to partner with Crown Cutz Academy founder Craig Charles to create Uplift Barber and Beauty Academy, the first barber school in the country that incorporates mental health and entrepreneurship into the curriculum. His parent nonprofit, L&J Empowerment, focuses on juvenile justice and workforce development. His book, Jumping Over Life's Hurdles and Staying in the Race, threads together these lessons to tell the story of how he became the visionary he is today. Interviewed by Winn Claybaugh, Lorenzo shares his unimaginable story of being born in prison, and then as a teenager, facing the system of mass incarceration. He also shares his insight surrounding the stigma and misconceptions of mental illness and why so many people never access available resources.
