I'd not heard of Yammy before I seen this podcast. Hes instantly my new role model, hes such a gentleman. I was abused since the age of 5, grew up ashamed and confused, got addicted to drugs, got violent ended up in YOI's. Many suicide attempts, sectioned in mental hospitals. Now I'm 44 and watch these podcasts and it gives me strength to know I'm not alone and survivors can openly talk about what happened without being ridiculed or being called a lier anymore.

Used to have a older fella near me in Islington always talking about conspiracies with nonces and the council/old bill/government/judges etc back in the 80s/90s. Always hope he turned out alright in the end as everyone thought he was mad back then but turned out it was all true.

I was in a home in Snakes Lane, South Woodford in the late 70s, don't even really know how old I was 5 or 6 maybe. All i remember is being beat up and hot water being poured over my leg, im quite a dark skin mixed race guy with a big patch of white skin on my shin. The care system is fucking wicked and savage. It certainly set me up for a life of crime and violence. Now in my mid 40s I have a hold of myself and doing alright, we don't ask for the life, it gets pegged on us. Bless up Yammy, and respect to you James for providing this platform bro.

Real real respect to Yammy B. That’s a real man right there. Takes a lot of courage to talk about traumatic experiences. I was in care when I was young and I know that feeling of being taken away from your parents and feeling scared and all alone. What a amazing watch and an amazing listen. Top podcast. Keep those inspirational videos coming. Hope Yammy B does well for himself! 👊💯

Honestly I fucking tell you hearing them two tell it now it is makes me not ashamed about what happened me. And for a lifetime nothing couldnt. Put this guy into a position of power in the system to.help kids or prisoners. He's a fucking hero. People won't realise this until a few years go by and these stories get checked and verified as Truth and fully truth will the public realise these guys and a generation of us 'bad boy's written off from kids are the ones who were telling the truth as kids. The public should be ashamed and have to watch this man's story. Enough people in public positions know and enable this. God give these men of life a chance to grow. This guy is that charismatic and clearly genuine it's hard to know his life has been subject to such horror yet he is a picture of grace. That is internal power he has because he is not a bad man. One day the media and justice system will be crucified for the pain they institutional ized

Yeah right there lad am sick 2 death of that Darren Gee and his lies all the time !

Yammy is one of those characters that you don't come across often in life, regardless of act you can feel the pureness in his heart. Someone you'd consider your brother even if u don't even know him

What courage this man has to speak so openly about such a personal part of his history. If only the world was a good enough place that this hasn’t happened to anyone else... but if there is someone out there who relates to this that they find some light in his words and can open up about the issue

It's so surreal how both Yammy and Marvin's injuries had them in hospital beds for 5 months and told they would never walk and be crippled for life. This is powerful stuff knowing that as bad as they behaved and acted, they just were good guys raised in bad environments and and conditioned to do bad. No one is born evil or bad. This guy is and Marvin's story are awe inspiring. Thank you James for giving life to their stories

Such a likeable character. He has such a lovely personality in spite of the abuse, I wish him the very best moving forward.

Having had childhood trauma myself the PTSD is difficult so thank you for sharing. I went to work with addiction/criminality/homelessness and have seen more sadness but your story can help many others. Sadly illness stopped my career early, I shall follow your channel and wish you all the best for the rest of your journey ❤️

Takes real balls to speak so openly about what you’ve been through , hope you can impact and help many others who have been through similar situation. My parents are foster Carers and wonderful caring human beings I wish they were all like them.

Another good one James. Even after everything he's been through, he can still smile. What a positive guy.

Have to Love Yammy. Another great interview. That man is a survivor and to go through what he's had to and come out the other side is amazing. People like Yammy & Marv can take their life experiences to our younger generation because, in all honesty, they would only listen to people who have lived and breathed the lives they are living now. If they can even turn one young man around then it's worth it all

Yammy is very charismatic. When he speaks everyone listens and what he has to say is wise and delivered with humour and respect. Good luck to him.
