​   Kevin Shird is a four-time published author, activist, and screenwriter. He has become an expert in using the past to build a better future. Shird began his very unorthodox journey at the tender age of sixteen when he started dealing drugs on the streets of Baltimore. This led to him serving a total of almost twelve years in prison. Since leaving prison, Shird monetized his life lesson by authoring social issue books.Â
