 Story of Success: Yaves Ellis - Overcoming Obstacles with Music
Yaves Ellis, The Street Pastor |
Childhood was different for Yaves Ellis. His parents couldn't use the television's parental controls to keep him from seeing violence and drugs - that was his life - that was his reality.
Growing up in inner-city Columbus Ellis saw negativity on every corner. "It was common for me to see drugs and dysfunctional families; it wasn't until I turned on the T.V. that I found that not all families worked in this way."
At first things seemed normal, but as he got older Ellis and his younger sisters knew things had changed. His mother was physically there, but mentally and emotionally she was not.
