NEW ORLEANS — Chauncey Taylor played a part in his life’s destruction. His foundation wasn’t the best, but he had a nurturing mother who tried to raise her son not to become a statistic.
He also turned his life around.
Now, Taylor is giving back to the New Orleans community where he was once a problem. Finding Jesus while in prison, he left with a changed mental focus. Taylor enrolled in college, where he is pursuing a degree in hopes of doing social work. He also does public-speaking engagements, using his story to educate and inspire others not to travel the same path — and if they do, that change is possible.
