What story have you accepted about your life that was never actually yours?

At sixteen, Halim Flowers was sentenced to two life sentences. The world handed him an ending before his life had even begun.

He never claimed it.

In this episode of Full Wattage, Halim shares how he built freedom in his mind long before he was physically released. From 22 years behind bars to becoming an artist, author, entrepreneur, and cultural engineer, his story is not about resilience as a buzzword. It is about certainty. It is about self-definition. It is about refusing to let the worst thing that happened to you become the truest thing about you.

We talk about the hunger that shaped him, the moment he stopped waiting for the world to change, the books and beliefs that helped him move from belief to knowing, and the purpose that now drives his work: bringing beauty, wellness, and cultural capital into the communities most often denied them.

This conversation will make you look at your own life differently.

Because the story written for you was never yours.
