Episode 3. Christopher 2X – Founder, Ceremonial Healing Group
The plight of the poor drives Christopher 2X, and he wants to help them transform their mindset.
After serving a seven-year prison sentence for drug trafficking in the 1990s, 2X became both an anti-violence advocate and a community spokesperson on issues of violence and at-risk youth.
2X has become a trusted face and voice for people with low incomes and who are disenfranchised. After a police shooting in Louisville left an African-American teenager dead in 2004, 2X was instrumental in calming the community’s anger after the police officer’s acquittal. That’s when he discovered his gift for defusing angry situations.
2X has been honored for his work to bring peace and justice to vulnerable communities through neighborhood groups like the Hood 2 Hood Movement.
