Eddie Stephen

I was born in Miami, FL. At three & a half months old I survived baby shaking syndrome, went through brain surgery from water on the brain & overcame cerebral palsy. In 1992, I moved to the Palm Beach area after Hurricane Andrew and spent my childhood there. In early 2005, I was kidnapped & raped. And through a long journey of questions, the hospital, police, court, & an employment termination hearing.....I somehow am still here by the grace of God. That same year I traveled to Europe with my HS choir & closed out the school year as a graduate. Soon afterwards, I traveled the country selling magazines door- to-door selling in close to 40 states. And making a final stop in Oklahoma with the sales team.....I decided to branch out on my own with a couple of friends to the west coast. I Spent most of my 20's in California. And now.....I am back in Florida. And not including my "Mary Jane" usage I've been clean & sober off hardcore drugs close to two years.
