Описание: In 2017, a 37-year-old ex-con from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with a gift for gab, had an idea. After spending time in and out of Philly’s juvenile detention system as a teenager, Wallace Peeples was convicted of armed robbery in 1997 and served 20 years in prison. Upon his release, he immediately jumped into the world of digital media, using his voice to advocate for reform and building Wallo267 into a media empire. And it all started with one idea.
