About this episode
Ms. Tee built a life of crime selling angel dust out of a designer handbag in Manhattan. One day, the hustler’s lifestyle caught up with her, and she was shot in the back. And what a time to be recovering from a gunshot wound: she had just given birth and her daughter’s father was sentenced to at least 20 years in prison. Ms. Tee traded in a life where she caused damage in her community and instead began to heal it, running various programs to help the unhoused. She’s an author and an inspiration who shares the highs and the lows of her incredible life story.
