Hello, my name is Demetris, and I am from Portland, Oregon. I invite you to consider the perspective of someone who has spent years in confinement. I hope you can look beyond my hardships and emotional scars to see the genuine individual I am today. I strive to be open-minded, non-judgmental, and maintain a calm demeanor, valuing a free-spirited approach to life. While I appreciate relaxed environments, I also possess a serious and determined nature.

My purpose for joining this platform is to seek authentic friendships with individuals willing to communicate openly and build meaningful connections. Living behind these walls presents unique challenges to one’s mental health, making honest communication even more essential.

Currently, I am pursuing an Associate of Arts degree in Business and Marketing, with aspirations to give back to the community by working with youth. This passion is personal to me, as I experienced homelessness as a young person and recognize how a caring mentor could have influenced my path and potentially kept me out of prison.
