Bio

Baxter was sentenced to 121 years for drug charges. Powerless as a high school dropout, freedom seemed impossible until he changed his life and found his POWER. He reclaimed his freedom after only five years by studying legal codes in the prison law library proving an illegal search and seizure. Baxter is now a college graduate, paralegal, writer, actionist, and nonprofit founder. For the past ten years, he has hosted community events and spoken publicly through his nonprofit #racismstinks to inspire unity and bring transformational growth into the lives of the people he meets.
