Cavario Hodges was raised in Harlem, New York in the 1970's. His entire family was involved in the illicit drug trade in New York City for generations. He grew up around the notorious so-called "Black Godathers" of Harlem-- Drug Lords Nicky Barnes and Frank Lucas. His own mother was a high-ranking street boss in one of these multi-million dollar drug operations. Naturally, being surrounded by such activity led him down a similar path. He started working for his family while he was still in middle-school, and then as a teenager with the onslaught of the crack epidemic, he ran his own profitable crews in Harlem and the South Bronx. He eventually made his fortune running a large-scale dope distribution ring in Baltimore, Maryland. His activities there were the foundation for the popular show The Wire. Seeing his future ending with either prison or death, he was saved by a spiritual awakening and left the criminal life for good. He tells us all about his road from kingpin to finding a higher and healthier purpose in life. Cavario also gives incredible insight and history of the drug trade in the Eastern United States. He is now an accomplished author and journalist and even conducts interviews for platforms like VladTV. Go Support Cavario!
