“Sammy Davis Jr. was sent by God to help me. He got me off the street, and he saved my life. I go to prisons now and I talk to kids in prison, ages 11 to 17, and I tell them I was there, where they are sitting. The kids in person would all write me letters and they said: ‘Sammy Davis Jr. was your angel, and you are our angel.’ It was a full-circle moment.”
