Ahmed Bellozo, known as OnTheTira, joins Popeye Ray and Brother Mark to share his story of gang life, 23 years spent in prison, and an addiction that followed him from heroin to prescription pills and fentanyl.
Ahmed talks about first using heroin behind bars, facing cancer and severe pain, and eventually seeking help through Narcotics Anonymous. He also shares how he built a new life as a community reporter and, more recently, was baptized and committed his life to Jesus. Now facing cancer again, he speaks honestly about faith, friendship, and the hope he has today.
