Episode 85 - Armand King, Raised in Pimp City
Description
I spoke with former pimp turned advocate/author/mentor Armand King about surviving childhood in the marginalized neighborhoods of San Diego during the crack epidemic in the 1990s.
“Fueled by his experiences in the streets, Armand co-founded Paving Great Futures and now works to guide others out of the systemic prison pipeline. As a young man, Armand was misguided by the streets and, in turn, misguided others, blind to the detriment of his actions. His life mission now is detouring individuals from the many socio-economic pitfalls faced by the underserved communities in San Diego.”
Armand’s making a difference in the exact world that almost ruined his life and that took the lives of so many of his friends. We spoke about his unique experiences and new book Raised in Pimp City: The Uncut Truth About Human Sex Trafficking.
Tune in the hear Armand’s suggestions for permanently sprucing up the neighborhood, so to speak.
