About Us

Valentine is the author, CEO and President of Youth Cry (for profit - Youthcry.org). His main objective is to emphasize how important our youth is, magnify the struggles they face while growing up on the streets, and highlight the escape routes towards life and success. Becoming a product of his environment, he has changed his whole perspective on life and how he was choosing to live with it. He seeks to help the youth and share his story with the world.

Valentine is a real-life survivor of a scene and a world depictedin "Tears of a Gangster". He is someone who is passionate about saving youth from this world he grew up in.  He speaks from his heart, from his experience, and his desire to make the world a better place for all.  He has risked his life to prevent this kind of violence he's been a witness to and continue to speak to youth in an effort to save lives. 

"In a world where living is the cost of not being able to trust anyone or anything, could you survive? This is the world that some people fear, and some people have never heard of."  Valentine
