  • 🎥 Part 4: Betrayed, Locked Up Again & Parenting From Prison – The Story of Andre Willis
    Jun 25 2025

    In Part 4 of this gripping series, Andre Willis shares the heartbreaking and humbling chapter of his third trip to prison—this time, after being set up by a close friend of 30 years. Despite saving this man's life during their first bid together, Andre trusted him with a favor that turned into a setup. The friend requested a drug order and took it directly to the DEA, proving just how dangerous it is to do favors when the stakes are high.


    Andre reflects on the pain of letting his family down once again, especially having to leave behind his 9-year-old daughter. Though the betrayal runs deep, he owns the consequences and places the responsibility on himself, not shifting the blame to anyone else. With 9 children, 15 grandchildren, and a broken relationship with his oldest daughter, Andre speaks candidly about the emotional cost of incarceration.


    This time around, Andre is focused on staying constructive—he plans to write a book from prison and create resources to help guide the youth, especially those at risk of repeating cycles of trauma and poor choices. He dives deep into the complexities of parenting from prison, urging free parents to let incarcerated parents still play a role in their children’s lives. “Kids want to feel connected,” he says. “We have to work together to make sure that happens—even from behind bars.”


    Andre also challenges the mindset of blaming others for our situations, saying bluntly: "Stop blaming white people for our problems." He speaks about environmental change, accountability, and what it means to really transform. He drops this wisdom:


    “What you live, you learn. What you learn, you practice. And what you practice, you become.”


    This is not just a story about prison—it’s a lesson in choices, community, parenting, and change.


    📢 Watch, share, and take in the wisdom of a man determined to turn pain into purpose.

  • Part 2: Andre Willis – From the Streets to the SHU: First Time in Prison
    May 21 2025

    🎥 In Part 2 of our interview with Andre Willis, we dive into his first experience behind bars and the harrowing events that led to it. He recounts a shocking incident where a police recruit jumped out of a window after being tortured, and how the state couldn’t locate him but the feds eventually did. Andre also breaks down what most people don’t understand about RICO and conspiracy cases, shedding light on how these charges can trap entire communities.


    He opens up about his first prison sentence from 1995 to 1999, including time in the SHU (Special Housing Unit) at Talladega, Alabama, and how that environment shaped him. Afterward, he was moved to Yazoo City, transitioning from a medium-security to a low-security facility. Throughout this chapter of his life, Andre began learning what it really meant to prepare for prison, both physically and mentally.


    This episode gives a raw look at what happens when the system and the streets collide—and how survival requires more than just street smarts.


    Follow Andre, and wish him well as we wait for his return back home @mratlantadreday25
