BALTIMORE — When Roca youth workers first knocked on Sheldon Smith-Gray’s door in 2018, he thought it might be the police.
He was “outside” at the time — “whatever you can think of, I was doing it, for sure,” he said in a Wednesday interview — and it wasn’t until about a year in that he bought into Roca’s process 100%.
“They just was there,” Smith-Gray recalled. “They showed me how reliable they were.”
