Endorsements
Brandon’s story is real, gritty and raw. It is a story of a kid from a single-parent home who was influenced by his surroundings. It is a tale of a bigger plan and finding out that you concealed greatness. Brandon never stopped fighting and planning in the fight of his trials and tribulations. If I had to describe the phrase “never let the torch go out, “it would reference Brandon Harrington.
I roamed the same danger zones and flocked the same drug-spirited locations as Brandon, so change and a lender would be an understatement. Brandon’s character, only a few, can tell a story of corruption / power, and greed and it’s really a true story experienced by a young man, 21 years old, from a small country town.
