Kardell Sims

Case Study

Overview

Growing up, Kardell Sims had pretty limited choices. Being the second child of a 16-year-old mother, his poor circumstances and background left him hustling and drug dealing at a reasonably young age. By the time he was 15, Kardell had already been involved in the first case that charged him with first-degree assault. However, life gave him another chance when his basketball coach spoke on his behalf in court and took him in as a foster child after he got out on probation.

At that point, Kardell had no mind changing the course of his life. As soon as he walked out of the prison gates, he was out on the streets again, And for two long decades, he lived his life the same way before making the ultimate mindset shift.

While incarcerated in the federal prison, Kardell finally realized that the first victim of his actions would be none other than himself. The awareness led him to make a decision that would allow him to live an honorable and successful life. Hoping to stay away from criminality once he got out, he spent his federal time putting together all his visions, plans, and goals to not return to prison again. And when he walked out of the prison gates, he had nothing but a plan he had put together while being incarcerated.

Since then, Kardell has been not only working to better his own life but he’s also mentoring other individuals facing similar problems. Now, he serves as a master-certified empowerment coach, business owner, re-entry specialist, and prison prevention mentor. Pouring his time and experience, Kardell is giving back to those who are still on their journey to change.
