Our overnight success. Are we there yet?

Tyler's Story
07/17/2019 | by Tyler CinnamonI grew up in a small town in outside of Chicago, Illinois. If you grew up in a community like mine, you had answers all around you. At a very young age, children in my community play with toys, designed to teach them shapes, colors and the basics of language. When they get older, they have books, music and videos that teach them how they can fit into society.
