Philadelphia policeman Curtis Ghee has been on patrol on the worst of the Philadelphia streets. At first he loves the cops and robbers. Because you’re supposed to when you're young. Then he sees that things have got to change. And Curtis can effect change. My first favorite quote “If I got to knuckle up with you I’ll knuckle up with you.” My next favorite quote “Your future is not ahead of you it’s inside of you. God did not put your future outside of you he put it inside of you.” And there’s more! Whether your locked up in jail or locked up in your mind Curtis is here to help you find your god given destiny…

Curtis is a Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, a husband, father, a Philadelphia Police Officer, inspirational speaker and a mentor to many. He is also the co-founder of Uncuffed Potential with his wife Falesha. Their mission is education people to unlock their potential to live their life’s purpose.
And here’s his story:
Took police test 1990. Had been hiding behind education…. Purpose is in your heart. He likes helping people draw that out.
Seeing a kid die. And then the killer in court. He was a killer. A young kid. A nut case. No remorse. He is certified. Curtis hears the killers story. In court. Mom burns his whole arm on a stove when he was 3. He was shot twice by time 13. At 18 shot multiple times. There is not a dry eye in the place, serious policemen are crying…
It is a turning point in Curtis’s life. Emailed his pastor. A cop starting a prison ministry, it doesn’t make sense, yet that is what Curt does.
His purpose. “I knew he had the power and the authority to hand cuff people and arrest them. But now I realized I have the same power and authority to uncuff peoples potential. To help them uncuff their potential. That is where Uncuffed Potential comes from.
Rodney King. In spite oh what happened there. I wanted to be an agent of change.
As a young law officer He loved the cat and mouse. The cops and robbers. But I started to see the same people. If I got to knuckle up with you I’ll knuckle up with you.
In 2002 became the district community relations officer. The liaison btw the department and the community. That was a turning point. 2002-2006. You got to see the good people in the community.
That’s when I got to start speaking to kids in schools.
I never liked to tear a person down without giving them something to build them selves up. Just speaking to people - I’m not going to have you do something i wouldn’t do.
I have a vested interest in this community.
Your future is not ahead of you it’s inside of you. God did not put your future outside of you he put it inside of you.
There is something inside of you. There is greatness in you. And you just need someone to help you Identify it. Once you learn it now you’ve got to take responsibility for your life.
I was shot at. Jan 1999. I got a plaque. You patrolled that bad part of Philly. Do you feel like you were able to affect change. Somebody will water the seed that I planted.
“There’s officer Ghee”
Works with officers with trauma. Cops have real life issues like everyone else; plus some.
At this point as Curt is talking I’m feeling the humanness of a police officer; it’s a heavy moment.
I am able to help the police officers. I am able to affect change. I do see see that. He says in a completely humble way that “I come highly recommended from his superior officers.”
He’s in a Les Brown book. “Ignite The Hunger In You”. Being distributed by JB Owen and her company. His story in there is called “Un Cuffed Potential”. “It’s about helping people to address and break through life long limitations that have been keeping them from achieving the dreams, aspirations, and desires they want for their lives.” He was that person.
Regarding success… Sometimes we can climb the ladder and look around and see that we climbed the wrong ladder.
You might start off in prison but your destiny still awaits you. Your destiny still awaits you if you want it.

5 keys to your destiny: free your mind change your life. Scheduled to come out in dec 2021.
Actionable steps for changing their perspective. It’s not a matter of changing the system, in some regards you just have to change your perspective. You have to change how you see yourself in the system.
Purpose is the original intent of a thing. Nothing has been created that doesn’t have a purpose.
What is the thing you do the best with the least amount of effort? What’s the thing that when you’re around it it makes you feel like “man I was born to do this?”
The Un Cuffed Potential is the thing I’m most passionate about.
Arresting people is a necessary evil it’s not the overall solution. Change a person. Dynamic of their family changes. Then the community changes.
