Today we’d like to introduce you to C Food DBE.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I grew up in the streets of Philadelphia, I was a boxer since the age of eight years old and it leads me too winning numerous of fights and I soon became a National fighter traveling all around the world to compete in tournaments. As I got older, I felt some type of void from my father not supporting me in the positive I was doing so I began fighting people on the streets to gain his respect since being a good kid wasn’t enough for him. I was great in the boxing ring but on the streets, I felt untouchable, I felt no one can beat me with the skills I carried. It got to the point where guys in the streets were saying “I’m not fighting that boxing dude, ima shoot him” so one day I stole a gun from my dad and carried it with me every day to school and back. It wasn’t until I turned 16 and lost someone to gun violence that me really turn to the dark side. I wanted revenge & I got it but what I didn’t know was that it was going to turn me out. Shooting a gun was like a drug and I became addicted. I started to take breaks from boxing just to be in the streets and without a proper mentor, I became lost. Long story short with me still having the passion for boxing, I still tried keeping up with it but the streets lead me to getting shot 17 times in four occasions. I started losing more friends to death or jail & finally, I decided to make a change after the birth of my son. I moved to Atlanta & began showing a different side to me which is my personality and soon became Instagram famous. I drew the attention of millions of views on Instagram videos, YouTube videos, I been on jerry springer which went viral, and I have a book out my life called “Steel born”.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
Mainly chasing your dream but still having to pay bills & provide for your family.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I am a music artist/ social media influencer and known for my funny videos or inspirational videos about my past life and how anyone can change. What I’m most proud of is my book “steel born”. I was able to sit down for months and write about my whole life the good, the bad, and the personal and I found out that I live writing so I will definitely be coming with more.
Do you have any advice for those just starting out?
I would say chase your dream but also learn the business side of things so that you can have an income coming in a while doing what you love.
