With over 14 years of incarcerated man-years to count for since he was a 17-year-old juvenile, Nasir Salaam has been on a mission. A mission that was laced with more than the high from drugs, or lust from sex, or the by any means necessary mindset for money. It was a journey of becoming the best version of himself while navigating through the perils of adversity.
Understanding the concept of time and how limited it truly is, is an undervalued asset that we treat as an expense or liability. Salaam had to realize this precious asset that we took for granted when he was facing life for a botched robbery that resulted in the unfortunate death of someone.
Once Upon My Time is a story of how you can use your life lessons as revisionist history. How your downfall can lead to your uprising when working on yourself becomes self-worthy. Once Upon My Time relates to those who have family and friends who have gone through the prison system that failed them repeatedly. Salaam has implemented a page-turning portrait of how to become victorious while incarcerated as well as in life by elevating yourself to put you in a position to not only succeed but thrive.
