"The West End has always been home to me. I grew up on 22nd and Osage. It's always been home and it doesn't bother me at all. I'm proud of where I come from. Growing up, myself and a group of friends used to go to Victory Park and hang out. We would ride bikes, play kick ball, and the type of stuff that kids don't do anymore.

Always follow your heart and instinct because they never lie. The gut never lies. That's the best advice that I could give to the world." - Takesia, Park DuValle
