Mr. Kory Latrell Darty, 44-year-old African American/Black Man. Wrongfully convicted survivor who has been incarcerated for over 16 years for crimes that wasn’t by his hands nor any knowledge of involvement. Born and raised in Laurel Mississippi until the age of 23. Also lived in Chicago Urban neighborhoods, Apple Valley Minnesota, and Sacramento California. Certified Christian Counselor in family, marriage, abuse, addiction, & biblical roles in society. Other pro- social avenues are based on platforms as a GOGI Community Coach and through the New California Model as a Peer Support Specialist. Love the art of community building, healing circles, mentoring at-risk youth, and bridging gaps in society. Questions to the community are how can I help? , is it anything I can do to help make the world a better place and is it ok for me to share my lived experiences. Bought sense is the best sense meaning I’ve paid with my life for everything that I have learned. I look forward to sit at the feet of people that I can learn from as well. I’m seeking to re-unite, establish a solid rapport, and build good relationships with people from the free world.

****Poet on Deck: My JOURNEY Begin****
My Journey begin, when my criminal behavior came to an end. Discontinued! Popping pills, smoking, drinking. No more! Stinking thinking. Realization, I am no longer a child. Chose to put my distorted belief system on trial. Back flashes, on lockdown fasting, in a prison cell- doing self-help classes. Had to get my low self-esteem higher, did it in 3 months by reading the whole bible. Got in the word, it started to get in me. Healing circles- from GRC to DRP. I was blind, but now I see. I am free. The best part of me. I believe! Jesus change lives. Some people just don’t. The Lord is my Shepard and I shall not want.
****Spoken Word****
I’ve seen this picture before. Destiny without a hero. De JA Vu looking in the mirror staring at alter ego. Wounded to my soul. A world so cold. Utterance of distress grows old. Vividly! History untold. Crystal clear yet nothing or no one can see through the stories I once told myself. There goes rejection, abandonment, embarrassment. Never again! Not one sound, I will not isolate myself, no more shutting down. Strength through brokenness. Beauty in ashes. The faith cometh by hearing. Size of a mustard seed. Water from the rainbow. Showered my storm. The word. Surgery on my heart. Somebody prayed for me. Walking on sunshine. Kory was made great again.
****Thought Process- I am not afraid to be me
Who am I? A free man walking. I am a king. Even though I’ve been kidnapped without a ransom. My freedom is beyond the shackles of imprisonment that tried to handcuff my purpose on this side of eternity. I am not stupid, a failure, a product of my environment, or just another lost soul trying to fit in. I do have flaws, character defects, scars, and fall short of God’s glory daily. I take accountability for all my bad choices. The righteous man falls 7 times and rises again (Proverbs 24: 16). I am not a victim of circumstances, I don’t blame the system nor the white man, and I understand how to rebuke and correct my bad choices. A sign of a man’s growth and maturity is when he knows when to cry & how to grieve, is able to talk about feelings with emotional intelligence, and when he admits he is in the wrong. This don’t disregard manhood or lessen the value of his importance. Man has a unique role in marriage, understanding that it’s sacred and ordained by God. He’s called to govern his household on biblical principles. Remembering that man and woman are equal, yet they have different roles. His job is to protect, provide, and to support her with his very life. He is the initiator, and the woman is the respondent, a helpmate, a companion, and the one that’s called to bring the best out of her husband. When done in agape love the wife know it’s safe for her to follow him because he is following God. Being the head don’t mean ruling with a strong fist. I know how to submit to my soulmate when God bring us together. A man can clean, wash laundry, cook, or what one might think is usually a woman’s job. I will continue to ask for help from my peers, family, and community support. I will become my greater self. My individuality making me different has transformed me into a beautiful man.
