Welcome back to The Ace Ford Podcast! Tonight's guest is a long-time childhood friend of mine.

If I'm being honest, when I look back at my time in middle school, I don't always have the fondest memories. As a child there were many times that I felt disconnected and mentally removed from what was happening all around me and being one of only a few white kids in school that feeling was amplified within me when it came to the social circles and settings of my peers.

That was until I met Maurice. Around the 6th and 7th grade, after Maurice moved to our town from Oklahoma, he became a little shimmer of friendship and acceptance in my life at the time. Our school time adventures writing poetry and raps and playing basketball became the few moments of happiness in that era of school for me. Maurice has always been a kind and patient friend.

On tonight's episode Maurice and I reminisce on our middle school days and share with each other about where our journey has taken us. Maurice also takes the time to break down the process and challenges of starting a clothing line.

Thank you for joining us and being a part of the conversation.

As always thank you for supporting my art.
