Exavier Pope owns The Pope Law Firm.  He is a Sports & Entertainment Attorney, Media Personality, Fortune 500 Speaker and Peak Performance Strategist, Writer, Economic Developer, and former foster youth.  Exavier shared his amazing  story for our National Foster Care Awareness Month blog series on teen males.

Exavier’s foster mother, Emma Lily Mitchell, declared to him that it was his “God given right and destiny to become someone of great influence to impact change.”  Exavier’s father was a pimp and his mother was a prostitute.  Exavier, his twin sister, and older brother entered Ms. Mitchell’s home when Exavier was six weeks old.  They remained in Ms. Mitchell’s care until Exavier was seven years old.  Between the ages of seven and nine years old, they lived in an abusive home with their biological mother.  At nine years old the children requested to return to Ms. Mitchell’s home and their request was granted.
