Sifting through the Attica mines | David Woodrow | TEDxAttica 2019

What do the Crown Jewels, the Hope Diamond, and most other priceless objects have in common? Besides being very valuable, they are locked up and secured -- just like those incarcerated in Attica. David's spoken word piece illuminates the hidden treasure within the "Attica mines." Follow along as Healthy Thinking leads to discovering value where others may see only trash. This talk profiles the creativity and resiliency of the human spirit. An American-born Jamaican of mixed Scots-English lineage, having attended Cornell University on a full soccer scholarship, leaving early to assist family in running their business in their time of need, this former criminal thinker descended into the underworld of crime and violence, eventually landing in the NYS DOCCS maximum security prison system with a 20- to 25-year prison sentence. But watch for the miracle....Initiated as a youth into the House Order in Western Jamaica, West Indies, this Ekklesiastical MC achieved the Hodmoras 79, blood diamond/humbil lion degrees while in prison, specializing in the Certain Way and possessing the Distinguished Features while digging in the Attica Mine(d)s. Now he embodies Healthy Thinking, his life now dedicated to service of the Most High, serving humanity, creating profits and win-win-win situations, loving/reverencing the Most High with all his being, loving others as himself and practicing integrity in all matters.
