Vanessa, thank you for this wonderful interview. My son is now on this journey, and he has given his life to christ. Although he didn't go to prison but he is not where I have visioned him. I raised him as a single mother and sent him to a private school all his primary and secondary, both boarding and living at home. He didn't have a role model and following friends' ideas ,taking substances, and dropping out of university , not even keeping a single job, but God had just rescued him after he left the house and back home. He's on this journey, and my prayer is I see the happy end as his mother and I will. Thank you!
What happened to his father?
You can’t change the past,but you can take control of the future ❤️
Great interview. I am a teacher in London. I will share this story with my students
Please, please do. Maybe one day when he is back in London,you can invite him to your school to give an address to your students.
Well done to this brother for turning his life around after such a start. With God all things are possible. As a father of young black boys in the UK, your story itself is inspiring, and I watched this with my sons. Your story continues to grow and hopefully guide other young boys and girls. Thanks for enabling a space to share this story, Vanessa.
Amazing story. God is great. I also listened to his wife speak on their relationship and journey to living in Ghana almost two years ago. Nice to now hear his story 🙏.
There is a saying !! It's not the begining of life journey that define you ..but the end .!! Great respect & admirations to this young man for making this positive change in life and finding peace ..well done 🌹🙏💜
Great interview. I got my teenage sons to watch it. With God, all things are possible. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic interview Vanessa. Leslies life journey is very inspirational and impacts so many young people that make mistakes at a young age. Glad that Leslie was able to turn his life around and fufill his purpose. 🙏🏾
You are a shining example to all young men and women
Great interview ! What an inspiring man 👏🏾👏🏾He needs to write a book. His message and story can make a real difference in many lives.
Great story, Leslie, and mighty congratulations on your great achievements. All things happen for a reason and I thank God for turning your pain into a purpose that's changing lives. May the Lord who has called you continue to open doors for you to touch more lives and prosper the work of your hands. Max love and best wishes from a fellow Cantab.
OMG Vanessa is back ❤️ It’s so difficult to find a content creator with whom I can enjoy the content with my teenage kids. I am so happy she’s back
I just watched the entire video, great interview as always Vanessa !!
Excellent convo; Vanessa. Shout out to this guy. ❤
Amazing interview!! Thanks for sharing your story 👏🏼
we need to emphasize that "fathers in the home" will make the difference.
People have fathers in the house yet they do it and are influenced by all these vices there are many stories where both parents are in their life yet they end up every where. Post code has a lot to do with it.
Some people have fathers at home and still go by the wayside.
Great inspiring story , to overcome his early setbacks and challenges to end where he is today is testimony to many people going through the same challenges in life to look up to for hope .
A young king has spoken 🗣️
My dear brother in Jesus Christ well done. You’re truly leading by example and enlightening many souls who need direction. Solidifying our relationship with Jesus is first and all he’s goodness will follow. As we know, not many make it out of “The trap” given to us as hope growing up in London, but we thank GOD you, I and P have been given a clearer vision in Christ, and all we have to remain is obedient.
Your outfit is looking CLEAN! 👌🏾
Shining from the inside out 👊🏾❤️
This was such a great interview. I wished it could have been even longer. I was interested in the day-to-day experience of living in Ghana but he is very inspiring. Well done.
Thank you soòooooo much for this award winning story, very very very inspiring, Thank you Yahsuah, please continue to bless this young man in Abundance, his Family too. Thank you Vanessa 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🦋⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥰
Great interview Vanessa ❤❤❤❤❤⭐
Wooooooow am so so happy to hear Leslie doing a u turn,God we thank you
I am a ghanaian single parent living in the UK for the last 39years, its very hard for our kids growing up. Too much racism
My kids are older now but it was not easy especially for my son
Redemption is a beautiful thing. You can hit hard and low and then you soars. Decisions have consequences.
What an incredible journey he has had.
Children don’t understand alot of things so as parents, don’t make them feel like they have to help you without explaining to them how their lives are meant to contribute positively in the world.
Even if you are struggling, you need to teach your children the basic principles of life.
“You cant steal, you cant sell drugs, you cant do certain things and expect it to be well with you or your mum you want to help. You have to earn the right way.”
What you put out there always comes back, they need to understand these things very early.
I’m happy this black brother is using his experience to wheel young ones into a better direction.
God works in wonderful ways.
To those blaming the mum, children (teenagers) see their mothers struggling and feel they have to step up. Even when their mothers don't want them to. She wouldn't have to work so much if the father was present and involved. If anything, what parents can do is prioritize more family time no matter how tough the situations.
This is so true! Even those working in international organisations or big companies/ corporations are so busy investing in their careers that they do not listen and engage with their kids. Listen to their anxiety and concerns, bring up positive examples to counter their negative experiences etc. Tell them life is not linear sometimes it’s circular. Sit and watch such videos together and really listen. Prioritising more family time is so important!
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams
I am blessed with this interview you can go the other way too.
Great talk , thanks
I clicked like just on the title of the video alone!
Stop blaming a wayward life on single parenting or lack of father figure … I had no father, didn’t live with my mum. Her siblings I lived with cared less. None of them including my mum even knew the schools I attend till date not to mention them knowing the day I had my first menses. I started taking care of myself since age 12.
My mum never took me to hospital or even knew how I survived since the day she birthed me and she is still in my life.
But I never did drugs, sold drugs, smoked or prostitution. My brother didn’t have a father figure in the UK but thank God he turned out a great guy!!!! He finished university, working and recently got married!
I also finished my masters and doing alright.
Life is how you make it. Don’t blame entirely on single parenting!
Regardless you have done well in life. Kudos🎉
Good interview Vanessa, Great story, Blessed guy.
Interesting one, Vanessa. A very inspiring story. You did a video at my office (Riviera) and now inside my estate🤩
Great story..~
Touching on the story of religion, its so sad to know that the Christian church owned over 600.. the same people holding and reading the Holy Bible!
Wow his music is really amazing. @Leslie can you enable comments on your IM LIT track?
I The LORD Search the heart and examine the mind
To reward a man according to his conduct.
Jeremiah 17:10
If any young person is watching this, bear in mind that, you might not be lucky enough to live through this lifestyle to give your testimony eventually. Stay safe!
❤ Incredible Story ❤
May God be with you always!!!
Now now, I think it’s terrible for a person not to take responsibility for the things that they do, and to project that the things that they did all the choices that they made were due to the fact that their parents were working hard, trying to earn money to keep the lights on is an excuse. When you do something and you know it’s wrong you need to take responsibility for it that’s you in yourself that wasn’t your parents selling that was you so it’s not their fault that you decided to choose that path because there are many people out there who come from two parent family and their children are doing the same thing. All people who are coming for one parent family and they’re doing the same thing and it’s basically to fit in because other people are doing it so they decide to themselves that they also want to do it, but to blame your parents as to say they actually led you to go and do such a thing that’s terrible. You need to take responsibility for your own mistakes and that was your own mistake and you have to own it. Sorry the truth hurts but as it’s written the truth will set you free.
I do not think that is what he said. Children see their mothers struggling and feel they have to step up. Even when their mothers don't want them to. She wouldn't have to work so much if the father was present and involved. If anything, what parents can do is prioritize more family time no matter how tough the situations.
Well done Leslie, and returning to the motherland was the best thing you could do for yourself. They gave you a criminal record (CRB) here in the UK and that would have scared you for life here in Babylon.
Wow....that was deep
😍😍😍😍😍
Nice
🎉🎉🎊🎉
This chap has absolutely blown me away. Sadly, this is the reality on the streets of the United Kingdom and the United States Of America. intelligent, young black boys and girls are being let down by their parents and society. He said something heart-rending, he had to fend for himself, because his mother worked all the hours. Time for parents to start putting their children first, fathers to do everything possible to play a role in the lives of their children and mothers to stop using their child as a weapon to manipulate or hurt an ex-partner. Everybody loses when that happens. Time to start putting our children first. No amount of money is worth the pain we inflict on these innocent children. I wish the young man every success in the world.

wasn't he saying something else about black people and music?
