Maiya's Story: Ex Drug-Dealer, Prisoner, Now Model...
Two years ago, Maiya was arrested and charged with possession with intent to supply crack cocaine and heroin. He was sentenced to 30 months in prison. That’s where he met Key4Life, a charity that works to reduce youth reoffending by providing mentorship, life skills and action plans for serving and ex-prisoners. Key4Life introduced Maiya to SLMan and he went on to complete a work taster in digital publishing. While he was with us, he jumped at an opportunity to get in front of the camera and tell his story. From dealing to prison to what can happen next, here is that story – and those photos.
