My story starts in Seattle. I grew up here. My father was the first Black teacher to graduate from Seattle University and the first Black man to teach for the Seattle School District. 

My mother was the first Black nurse to graduate from Seattle University and the first Black registered nurse in Washington state.

I went to the University of Portland on a track scholarship and earned my BA in Marketing in 1982.

For the next two decades, I was a marketing executive. Seven of those years, I was an account executive at ADVO, the world's largest direct mail company and a pioneer in targeted marketing.

Since xxxx, I have been the founder and chairman of Nat Turner Revolution. I was imprisoned on a trumped-up federal charge of shipping medical cannabis across state lines.

This is the story of how I got there and why I started the Nat Turner Revolution. (Click play to hear Walter’s Story).
