He Was the Only White Kid in the Hood. Everyone Called Him “Black”

Chris, better known as “Black,” joins Bubba the Love Sponge to tell the remarkable story of growing up as the only white kid in an all-Black community on the rough side of St. Petersburg, Florida, where the nickname “Black” followed him for life. Chris opens up about fighting to survive as a kid, entering the drug trade at a young age, the choices that eventually led to federal prison, and serving 15 years behind bars. He also shares what prison life was really like, how those years changed him, and how he rebuilt his life after coming home. Today, Chris has turned his past into a purpose through Black Label and his podcast Pain and the Purpose, using his platform to share stories of people who have survived extreme circumstances and found a way forward. It’s a raw conversation about race, identity, the streets, prison, survival, redemption, and becoming something bigger than where you started.
