Meet Action Alliance Resident DeShawn

Growing up in greater Los Angeles, DeShawn’s early years were filled with love and simple joys. But as time passed and he entered his teens, things began to change.

DeShawn started hanging out with gangs (joining a few years later) because he thought it was “fun.” He started stealing, causing trouble and became a “bad seed.” Even after being kicked out of his mother’s house to live with his aunties in Lancaster, he kept making bad choices, including selling and doing drugs, getting into fights, and getting kicked out of school – although he did manage to graduate from high school.
