Antonio Ford

Antonio Ford was born December 19, 1967 to Henderson Ford and his mother, Lenora. In his own words, he “was born into a population of Niggas, blind to the knowledge of self, culture, and environment, deaf to Wisdom and the Law and Word of God.” He never knew his mind and environment was one and the same, nor did he know that his mind was being clay shaped through space and time, TV and radio, words and images.

Looking for answers, he traveled and experienced many situations and problems from bullies in the school to trying to avoid his mother’s violent behavior. These experiences led him to the streets, to gangs, drugs, murder, prison, and, ultimately, to enlightenment.

Going to prison is where he “discovered” his mind, discovered who he was, who he is, what he is naturally created to be! On September 18, 2001, seven days after the September 11th bombings, he was freed from prison, freed back into a population of Niggas. Most people think that a nigga is a black person but in reality, it’s a behavior that’s being promoted in every society crossing over in every ethnic group. Knowing and understanding that he is made in the image of God, he now strives from thought to thought to be God, not just in thought but in mind, body, and spirit. This is his story, From a Nigga to a God.
