Meet The Founder
My name is Kahlil Nelson. I was born in Rochester, New York. At just 14 years old, I was incarcerated and sentenced to life in prison—an experience that could have taken everything from me. Instead of allowing it to break me, I chose to fight for my identity, my peace, and my purpose.
Through years of isolation, loss, and the absence of guidance or love to lean on, I learned firsthand what it means to feel alone, unseen, and unheard. That pain shaped me. It challenged me. And ultimately, it pushed me to become the man I am today.
I made a promise to myself: I would use my life, not waste it. From that promise, Face The Odds was born.
