From the Edge to Westminster?

– A Redemption Journey

This memoir isn’t a campaign. It’s my story — freely given, in the hope it inspires.

I wrote it because too many people feel written off. I know what it’s like to live on that edge — addiction, poverty, homelessness, prison. And I also know what it takes to rebuild.

If sharing the road I’ve travelled — the failures, the recovery, the lessons — can give hope or spark change, then it’s worth every word.

This isn’t about polished lines. It’s about truth. Where I really come from, and why I believe redemption matters.

So start with Chapter One. Take a little time, read a few pages, and decide for yourself if this story deserves to be heard.

            Part One — The Memoir

The complete redemption story.

Chapter One: Council Estate Beginnings

Where it all started — childhood in care, a broken home, and how the early foundations were laid.

Chapter Two: The Road to Recovery

The turning point: addiction, arrest, and the decision that changed everything.

Chapter Three: A New Life Built

Business, marriage, success — and what it meant to finally find stability.

Chapter Four: From Collapse to Clarity

The crash, the reckoning, and the painful clarity that followed.

Chapter Five: Meeting Tolu, Hearing the Call 

A new relationship, a new beginning — and a deeper call to serve.

 Chapter Six: Why Share My Story, Why Now? 

A question I asked myself long before anyone else did.

Chapter Seven: The Redemption Shield 

What I learned about judgement, honesty, and how to protect what matters.

           Part Two — The Journey Continues

New reflections and next steps inspired by the memoir.

MyWhere My Story Stands Today

Trusting God’s plan — one faithful step at a time.

My Fight for Your Rushmoor

Why I believe real change starts from the bottom up — and why I’m standing where the odds are stacked high.

What I Stand For

Not party lines — personal principles. What I’ve lived through, what I’ve learned, and what I now stand for.
