🔥🎙️New Drop - 🎙️🔥 Sentenced to the Streets: Dakotah Sanders

Born and raised in Hutchison, Kansas, Dakotah reflects on scoring a 9 out of 10 on the ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experience) test to provide a glimpse into his story he shares on this episode. He was raised around abuse, violence, neglect, and more, sadly. Dakotah felt like he was an "odd individual" once he started school, but he also felt mature due to the adult experiences he was exposed to. From an early age, he fought with other children, mirroring the violence he was observing at home. At the age of 8 years old, Dakotah began using ma*****na. Looking back at the first time he tried ma*****na, he was with adults in a "trap house" who would not allow him to smoke m**h, but they allowed Dakotah to use ma*****na instead. By his teenage years, he was using a variety of illicit substances including opiates and m**hamphetamine. Searching for an escape for any unwanted emotion he was experiencing, Dakotah spiraled further into addiction. After experiencing his first major incident of drug withdrawal, he sought to remove himself from the lifestyle entirely that he was living and enlist in the Marine Corp. Before he was able to ship out, Dakotah suffered a serious injury to his knee. From there, Dakotah felt like he had been forsaken and was "sentenced to the streets" where he would eventually end up in the one place everyone told him he belonged: jail. To hear how Dakotah turned his life around completely and now helps others, you need to hear in his own words. After writing a book with his inspirational story, Endure, he now raises money to send his book to clients in treatment centers, jails, and prisons. You can find a copy of his book by following this link: https://www.quietstormservices.com/copy-of-endure-to-suffer-with-patience. Dakotah, we hope your dream comes true of getting your book in the hands of those who need it most! 👏🏼💙🔥
