Growing up in Alton, IL and later Saint Louis, MO, Mr. Hickman was exposed to the harsh realities of life at an early age. He witnessed firsthand the struggles that he and his community were facing, from drug overdoses to gun violence and even experiencing a heart attack himself. However, it was through these hardships that Mr. Hickman discovered his true purpose – to inspire and empower others. During a recent interview with Revolt TV, Mr. Hickman shared his journey of self-discovery, explaining how his frustrations with traditional medicine led him to seek out alternative healing remedies. His research ultimately led him to the teachings of Dr. Sebi, the catalyst for his passion for natural health and wellness.

This led him to gather knowledge from numerous leaders in the black community, such as Dr. Afrika, Elder Moreh Shaleem, Dr. Ben Clark, among others. He even stated he binge watched the things he was learning so much that he knew Dr. Sebi’s entire family name within 48 hours of him watching him. From all the practices he was learning, and resources he was getting from reaching out to so many different people, this led him to furthering his health journey.
Mr. Hickman ‘s journey to becoming a Master Herbalist and Natural Healer represents a remarkable transformation from a life of unhealthiness, gang-activity, and drug abuse to one of passion and purpose.

Through his teachings, Mr. Hickman is changing the narrative on what it means to be healthy and promoting the idea that true healing involves treating not just the body, but the mind and soul as well.
