It was 2002, and Vincent Haywood was finally coming home after spending the past 11 1/2 years in prison. When Vincent stepped off the bus in Houston, Texas, ironically he was face-to-face with the site of his last robbery – a McDonalds.
In 2021 Vincent released his first book, “Testimonies Over Titles. From Prison to Promise.” We discussed his book and much more on The Determined People Podcast. Click on the link below to hear this mans story of strength and transformation.

Every one of us is searching for the answer to the question, why am I here? We know there’s more to our existence than what we see. Slow down. Be silent and be still. You will hear the voice of God. Breathe…
We don’t know what others are going through. Mental health and wellness have been shattered in the past year because of isolation, lack of socialization, and sometimes the loss of loved ones. The most well put together person on the outside might be doing all they can to just hold it together…they are making an appearance.
