- In this episode of ‘Minutes With’, we sat down with Pride of Britain Award Winner Hezron Brown.
As a child, Hezron suffered life changing burns - and struggled to control the anger and rage he felt throughout his childhood. Kicked out by his mum onto the streets at 11, he fell into Birmingham’s biggest gang, where violence, guns, and crime became part of his every day world.
Faced with a ten year prison sentence, he was given a second chance that turned his whole life around. He’s since dedicated his life to working to prevent other young people from falling through the same cracks in the system.
With thanks to Hezron Brown for taking part:

This is a solid proof of how important is to re-educate people instead of punishing them.
big faccs, because they grow up and have a bigger understanding of the situation, agree
@@thedalillama There's no need to be so drastic (my opinion btw). Obviously it depends on the crimes they committed, but if that guy was locked in at the time, you would now have a criminal 10 times more dangerous.
Well said! 🙏💯
@@thedalillama for better proof you could look at countries like Norway that focus on rehabilitation rather than punishment and have significantly lower rates of reoffenders. Criminal justice systems based solely on locking people up for as long as possible just turn first time offenders into career criminals.
@@thedalillama not sure why you felt the need to make it a race thing, it's not at all relevant.
if schools had actual anti bullying programs maybe his life would have been different
As long as there are relative outsiders there will always be bullying. It's just the nature of immature human beings. That said, more quality education is always better.
I think there had to be stuff going on at home too. Or his mom was working so much perhaps he was home alone no one to tell how bad it was at school. No support like he was saying. And it seemed like there was no extended family or family friends to support her.
Yeah, the most they did was 'hey class, lets make an anti-bullying poster'
In my states school system every few weeks for every year until you're in high school you're forced to go to an anti bullying seminar. It doesn't do shit
I feel the word gets thrown around as if it means, one person deliberately insulting or physically harming another just to cause that individual harm with no gain. Really though its the person perceiving themselves as being bullied where the trouble lies, for example a child with older siblings could see no harm in jibes at one another. They then do that at school for what ever reason and continue their day. The person they said it to doesn't sleep for a week and devolops a complex that then amplifies to point of the reasoning it must be bullying. Such a tricky issue to deal with.
That woman in probation is the best example of how we can actually help people, she saved his life in a lot of ways
It's amazing how ONE person who was willing to help him changed his entire life forever,when everyone else didn't care/was against him
Won't work for all
@@foserk7063 Makes you think how many aren’t willing though...
@@MrDanielfff777 if it doesn't work, maybe it's not their time.
No. You can't help people who can't help yourself. What she did was great but if he didn't have that epiphany of why is he doing it he wouldn't have changed. Her help wouldn't have achieved anything other than prolong the inevitable. Lots of people need saving but you can't save every one. You can't help those that can't help themselves.
I can relate to this dude. My dad and mom were both crack heads who died when I was ten years old. I grew up in a group home. Homeless in my twenties with zero family. Its easy to fall threw the cracks when no one is there to help you and take care of you and as young person. Somehow I made it. Have two masters degree and a new take on life. There’s always hope. Just got to keep in trying.
good for you :)
What you get a masters in?
Just please be happy healthy your an inspirational person
Legend!
An absolute Chad
This guy gave a talk at my school, it was literally one of the most powerful lectures I’ve ever had, this man singlehandedly grabbed the attention of over 900 students and taught us some of the most valuable lessons. He was also just a really nice and funny guy too aha I’m glad he’s getting the attention he deserves
Same! he did the same to mine.
Cool
he talked to us on google meets on thursday
Same he had a talk at my school in like 2019 or something
You can tell he's done this before
One act of kindness changed this man's entire life. Be kind.
Anddddddd you got people who act like gangsters.

One act of kindness doesn't make a person good if they made 100 wrong acts!
@@barrymantz6026 It doesn't always, but it *could* that's what matters.
“I don’t know why I’m doing a parenting course, I ain’t got no kids!” 😂 this guy is hilarious and an inspiration to boot!
😂 👏🏾 For him big survivor
I teared up when he said, the woman said “leave it to me”. She was him beyond his struggles. God bless her for giving him a chance.
It's crazy how bullying has an underlying effect on kids. This man has been through the most.
What an interview!
@@brianking1921 bro, you're acting all high and mighty as if you're better than Saint Mother Teresa, never hurt a fly or an ant in your life! Pure stupidity🤦🏽♂️
@@brianking1921 You know the saying: 'Those who can't do Teach'
@@MrSudanPresident “those who can’t do teach”
Brian King You're probably that one teacher that everyone in the school hates.. 😖
@@brianking1921 Sorry that these people are hating on you after your stance on the issue, your statement deserves to be debated and not immediately denounced by hatred. I understand where you're coming from but I would argue that bad experiences can effect people severely and make them a bad person, the severity is different for everyone. Of course, the teacher who was harmed most likely did not deserve to be attacked, but we should keep in mind that the child was not stable as he was being attacked not only by the school (i.e. bullies) but also at home possibly making him feel threatened in a sense (still does not justify his actions but does give him some sympathy.)
All this guy needed was a mother to care about him and a father to guide him down the right path.
This is the bitterest truth.
Exactly don’t have kids if you can’t handle them ffs
A mother can do all the same and vice versa, you dont exactly NEED both parents. Saying stuff like that just sounds like couples that dont work should stay together for the children
He doesn't need that, he needs someone who actually values him and guides him. My parents got divorced when i was 5 and i never committed no violent crime. He made them choices because he didn't no better, but he still had a mum, he just didn't value her. Don't matter if it's a mum or dad or adult figure, teacher. He needed guidance and a role model, he never had that, nobody to emulate. We ain't all privileged enough to have 2 parents that love eachother and want to be together, some of us need to put some effort in and find someone who we can be inspired by
His mum wasn't strong enough, but even if he had a father whose to say the dad could've controlled him? it's up to the individual to find that inspiration to be a good person
@@trashbank6148 if he had a good mum and dad who both truly cared and loved him regardless if they was together or not I doubt he would of taken alot of the wrong paths he went on.
This man gave a talk in my school. He is quite literally the loveliest man you’ll ever meet. I’ve never seen a man captivate so many young people at one time. So good to see him telling his story on this scale.
What's he's name
holy shit yeah i remember this guy doing a zoom interview for my school a few years back. he didn't talk about his experiences like he did in this interview but i remember the story of the woman in probation which made me think of that event. he came off as insanely genuine and put everyone else on that meeting to shame. i think he said he did fifteen years in the end?
Same here when he told his story everyone clapped and I've never heard anyone clap so hard lol
My goodness, I lost it when he said he found out he won the pride of Britain award. This man is living proof that your circumstances don't have to dictate the course of your life forever. I bet his mum is bursting with pride for him now.
i saw Hezron in real life he did a talk at my school really impressed by his commitment to helping young people understand the consequences of their actions
I think he spoke at my school as well a couple years ago
Same it was sick
Same
he spoke at my school too😄 life changing talk
Same
That probation woman saved a lot of lives not only this man's....reason being is that she saved this mans life and now this man is saving other lives...that probation woman is going to heaven.
Amen!
fr
I was expecting her to show up at the end :)
There are plenty of black people that can give such advice.
And possibly she also saved the lives of people this man might end up killing later in his life if he continued down the slippery slope.
When he talks about that woman,his heart heaves with respect.
She changed his life,he will never ever forget this woman and what she said in a simple but excruciatingly life changing decision on this young mans future.she sat there and saw this mans future.
Sat here with tears in my eyes,listening to him speak.
Well done
It takes that one person to CARE!!!!! You have to CARE!!! Save a life today by listening, caring and supporting young people!
seriously, this guy's potential has no limit. He is AMAZING
He should become a CZcamsr
he speaks so good it makes u wanna listen even more
He came to my school this isn’t even the full story
Beans on toast
as a teenager i went thru similar situation . was 17 hanging around the wrong people did a few things not proud of them . got grabbed by the police one night . next day sat down with the cop that had arrested me . he gave me a second chance in life . moved 6 hours away from where i grew up to my fathers . enrolled in school then college , i am now 51 and never looked back . i will be forever grateful for that cop that sat down with me that day and talked things thru and it sunk into my teenage brain because we all know as teenagers we all know everything . without him talking to me i would be either dead or in prison
love to hear that mate🙌💯

A lady at Reigate probation wrote the same about me at a pre sentencing report in the mid 90s “ sending this man to prison will do nothing but make his behaviour and offending pattern worse “ it stopped me getting 5 years for violent disorder and I was given community service. I was given a chance and I took it and haven’t offended since 👍
He came and spoke to my school, it was such a touching story! Everyone actually appreciated it and I lovee the way he tells his story
“It wasn’t the thought of eating, it was the thought of knowing I had something to eat” omg, I didn’t realize how greedy I was until he said that.
The little things that we take for granted.... amazing life story
i was eating while he said that
“dunno why i got a parenting course, i ain’t got no kids” 😂 had me laughing my ass off. Love to hear stories like these, they give me hope for my own future.
He might be a good guy who has turned his life around but what’s so good about meeting the royal family? If I met them I would spit in their face
@@smellypoo3160 may i ask why?
@@ollieswift1091 They protected Jimmy Saville. Prince Andrew is proven to have been with young kids. They are really evil people. They have so much power and money and just watch the world burn down around them and do nothing about it. Imagine what else we don’t know about them.
@@smellypoo3160 whats it called, the man who married the queen, forgot his name, also trafficked young girls about 30 yrs ago? which means he was 60 at the time 🤢🤮
@@smellypoo3160 u prolly weren’t around when jimmy saville was
Oh, man. when he cried I welled up. I love hearing stories of ppl turning their lives around for the better. Hearing his story made me thankful that my parents got me and my sisters out of where we lived because while I was s good kid with no type of criminal mindedness. when I went back to visit old friends I hung with in elementary school 8 yrs later, I found out many of them ended uo criminals with records, with at least one dude being.
One of the 3 I visited, of whom I had considered my best friend from kindergarten thru 3rd grade and was the one ALL the girls wanted, and had told me the most of what happened with our elementary school friends had told me he himself had been locked up twice but was at the time in college and was literally studying when I unexpectedly showed up. He said he learned from his ways and was on the right track at the time. He then said something I thought was striking - He said he and some of the others envied me for moving, believing I was so lucky. The thing is, I was actually shocked that so many went the criminal route except for maybe one. He seemed to get a lot of bad examples of life from his much older brother and it showed, early.
While I don't know if one of the other guys I visited, while with the guy who became my best friend in the 4th grade thru when I left in the 7th, had a criminal record but he was in a recording studio trying get his rap career going. I could tell he didn't like me when we were young (I was born the day before him but he was more the serious type while I was the class clown of sorts and we are both darkskinned) but one day about 3-4 yrs ago, his named popped in my head and I decided to Google him - Dude was a sheriff's deputy in another state who had won a prestigious award. I was floored yet elated for him.
Anyway, SOME ppl CAN change for the better if given a chance and this man's journey warmed my heart.
I was so happy being able to meet Hezron in school. he was so inspiring to so many students including me! It shows that people can change and they need a second chance. thank yo so much Hezron Brown! 😁
Fucking hell, that was powerful.

man needs to get a youtube telling stories. his own, other peoples, stuff from history, just anything. he is really good at storytelling!
He came to my school, he gave me one of the most meaningful lectures I’ve had in my life, I remember everyone at the end trying to get pictures and stuff it was awesome
Everyone was genuinely listening to what he was saying and took it in, some idiots chose to not learn from it tho, but shame on them 🤷♂️
Quite literally proof that the justice system needs revising -- this lad would've been an entirely different person if he was subject to 10 years.
this seems like clear proof that we need to be taking sentencing so much more seriously than we do... prison ruins you, trust and rehabilitation is what saves people.
The fact that people r out here thinking that spending money on longer sentences etc will be more useful that putting it into things like youth clubs is pretty crazy
Nordic countries do👍🏼
couldn't of said it better some people need jailing for the safety of society n some people just need a second chance and another route in life to go down
really depends on what kind of crime you committed
@@PriyanshuSharma-ey3bc just like i said sentencing should be taken more seriously
His last quote made me cry but also gave me so much motivation to prove the people wrong who said that i was too weak or whatever. You are an inspiration to so many people, Hezron. Thank you for that ❤️
As someone who’s always helping young people. This kind of video helps me to keep going it tears you up when some just don’t get but I’m glad to see that some do.

I've heard this from a few similar comments...
@@ovliquity6461 because he goes to different schools...
@@ovliquity6461 because clearly he travels around the UK telling his story in schools.
His story about the boiling water reminded me of a friend. My friend had been abused very badly by his older sister. She hit him on the head with a hammer and broke his skull, he needed staples and he has a patch of hair missing from where she hit him. One time when his parents left overnight, she handcuffed him to the toilet and left him there all night and only let him go when their parents were about to return. There was a lot more that she did, but it suffices to say, she was evil. The last thing she did before the cops made a case against her was she pushed him into a stove that had its 2 front burners on and held him down on it. It completely burned his chest and part of his stomach and left a bad scar in the shape of the coils from the stove. Living in that house with her was horrible for him.
That's evil of his sister. What happens to your friend now? I would be glad to know his progress.
@@rina2012ful he’s in a really dark chapter of his life. Depression, anxiety, addiction, antisocial behavior. His sister and dad really did a number on him. I believe he will move past it though. He’s just in a transitional stage right now where he’s having to deal with and eventually sort out the trauma his family caused him.
@@giusepperesponte8077 So sorry for your friend.. It may sound basic but encourage him to go to the gym, be physically active as much as he can and eat healthy, healthy doesn't mean salad leaves, it's all about whole organic foods. These two things can really help your body overcome mental health difficulties, easier to say than do I know, but fully worth it.
Such an inspirational story and the way he talks / tells his story really grabs you!! Couldn’t of picked a better mentor to give talks and help the younger generation. You’re a true soldier man. Props to you. Very proud
Not ashamed to admit I teared up when he did.

@@arg1598 bro left us on a cliffhanger 😂😂
when he teared up
Same, his realisation that the probation worker gave him a pass was deep.
Well done young man, I’m so glad you have come out the other side. Take heart in how many young people you are helping.
Trauma in childhood can lead to the most horrific outcomes for young people. I am so pleased that this man was able to meet someone who understood him and understood his background. So pleased for you and i wish everyone understood how childhood trauma can go on to affect people later on life x
The custard creme part had me crying, and not in laughter. Struggle is real and if you’ve never been thru struggle, you ain’t got your eyes open.
I don’t think u have to go through struggle for you to realise how hard it is. It’s called being empathetic
@@tobiasteichman9389 having empathy doesn’t compare to going thru struggle yourself. Someone with 500 mil in the bank could be as empathetic as they want. But they will never know the true feeling of struggle until they have been down in the dirt.
Having slept on the streets when I was young the biscuit custard cream really made me laugh.
The little things in life can make a hell of a difference to someone’s daily routine
I had a housemate catching me sneaking spoon-fuls of my own jam, and realised what dire straits I was in. "you're just trying to get sugar energy!" It was a really nice house I just over-extended myself and wound up in an "embarrassment of finances". Was skin and bones before I got money again. I've had other times on the noodle diet, but that was the closest I've ever been to 'struggling'. Long time ago now. Edit: dang what a useless comment this was. Other people have it so much worse than I ever have,
@Hydrec thats fact
It starts with the parents. Even the toughest, baddest people want love & guidance.
Blimey what a nice, humble, intelligent person. A very heartfelt and emotional story of his life, respect to you sir! You are destined to help many people’s lives with your wisdom.
I think Hez doing a parenting course despite not having kids shows a lot about the broken relationship he had with his own mother. He's an amazing guy ❤️
He does have children he comes to my house every week and sit down to speak to me
"Don't know why i'm doing a parenting course, ain't got no kids" 😂

Broken homes cause gangsters, unhealthy relationships cause broken homes.
Single motherhood and welfare (lack of manufacturing jobs) is to blame
What absolute bollocks. Is that what you took away from this?
Typical Britain. Blame the victims, blame the weak, blame the vulnerable.
Solution? Give em a low-skilled, low paid job. That'll shut them up, won't it?
What works is proper investment in support services, in education, in giving people things to aspire to. Not your vision of a cowed bunch of people on minimum wage, doffing their caps to you and thanking you for the pittance they have to survive on.

This guy has a good heart. God bless him. There are so many wannabe gangsters nowadays who come from good stable backgrounds but get into that lifestyle out of greed\ wanting to show off. Doesn’t help that it’s glamorised so much in media consumed by our kids.
Facts my guy and this is one major issue in my school
Be blessed man! My life was so bad because of my family, they didn’t send me to school and they didn’t offer me education, and I was lucky because of a man who inspire me to educate myself and to chose the good path in my life. Now I’m in uk with my family and I’m so great full for what I have here. ✌️
All he needed was just one person to believe in him, and that one person changed his life.
However the man himself did all the hard work and he is definitely an amazing inspiration.
It should be compulsory for all secondary school students to listen to one of his lectures it would do a world of good !!
Well done to you sir !!!
The cracks are vast and they swallow people whole. To drag yourself back out and up again is an amazing achievement. It takes a different kind of strength. He turned a life of pain and anger into something positive and fulfilling. Fantastic!
I KNOW HIM HE CAME TO MY SCHOOL BEFORE THE FIRST NATIONSL LOCKDOWN THIS GUY IS A BEAST, unbelievable potential, I’m proud for hum

I couldn't help but tear up while watching this, I can not relate to this man in practically any way, I had a decent childhood and a family I can depend on, but he has made me recognize how much I have taken for granted in life and how privileged I've been, how much I complain about things and how I'm always looking over the fence. This person thoroughly deserved to win the Pride of Britain, what an extraordinary individual.

No , kids , actual kids
@@salima3703 lmfao
What an genuinely solid character. Good luck for everything you do. Past is past, forget it. You will make other people's tomorrow better. Respect.
He’s ram , you are truly inspirational, you are not only the pride of Britain you are truly the pride of us all.. greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
I’m not sure if you have met the woman yet, but I work in the service and will forward this video to the head of group. I’m so proud of what you’ve achieved
is there any updates
I wonder how his mother feels now. She gave up on him. I thank God he didn't give up on himself.
Easy to blame the mother. She couldn't deal with him. Social Services should have supported her. She did ask for help
@@margholtz Of course it’s easy to blame the mother, when parents are supposed to be the one’s educating their own children. Looking at him as person, had he received an education from part of his mother or father, he would 100% not have turned out like he did when he was young.
the cadence to this guy's voice is extremely beautiful
This brought tears to my eyes. So glad you made it my friend x 🙏
🙏🏽Won the Pride of Britain Award now he's actually officially, repping the ends
He’s not British though so he doesn’t deserve it. Why should we praise criminals?
@@waronconsciousness9523 if we didn’t praise people for making a change then inevitably less people would be willing to change. The world needs people like this to guide those that are making the same mistakes as he did. Knowledge is power. Your very outdated, racist and arrogant comment isn’t welcome.
Wouldnt be proud to rep Birmingham
@@waronconsciousness9523 well he’s won one and told his story and changed peoples lives, he’s probably done more good things in life that u have
@@waronconsciousness9523 lololol the supposedly spiritual person is racist? What a conundrum we have here
Humble guy , poor start, wrong crowd and then turns it all around . He will now have an effect on others in his situation to help them. Well done fella.
I can't imagine the pain he went 💔 through. But he's ROLE MODEL NOW.
HEY THIS GUY CAME TO MY SCHOOL, HES SO AMAZING AT TELLING US HIS STORY AND HES JUST AMAZING!
Love his story but his mother was vile, no parent ever turns their back on their child. I know he was bad but it’s no excuse to let your child go homeless at 13
No his Mum was desperate for help. She also didn't receive the help that she needed to raise this young man who'd suffered such a horrific accident. She did what she thought was best and I bet it damn near killed her. They both deserved better from the system.
@@tp8087 don't hate the player, hate the game innit. Hopefully none of us will ever have to experience what either of them have but I think we can all agree "the net" had way too fucking many holes to slip though. This pandemic has only made is realise even more so!
Who runs a bath with boiling hot water?
jimmy butler
Does he talk to his mom again
in tears watching this im 43 but feel about 90 but this man touched my heart of stone its never too late to change a huge well done Hezron
Thoughts and love to you. Thank you for the interview ❤️
I remember when this guy came to my school, he was a really kind and honest guy.
Interesting
I met this guy at a knife crime conference in school.. He's incredible, honestly. A massive inspiration
This story moved me.
The power of love and compassion.
1 person's understanding and love for people, helped put him on the right path.
And he did walked that path, beautifull.
A truly wonderful and uplifting story! Thank you for sharing and well done for turning your life around!!! 👍🏾
Started crying half way through and couldn’t stop. His story just proves what’s wrong with the system. The school, social services, the council, etc. Just imagine how many more young people out there are going through the same thing, thinking there’s no light and the end of the tunnel. The youth need someone to guide them, someone who will point them in the right direction when they can’t find that at home.
Inspiring story, more kids should listen to the grim details and sad reality of the gangster lifestyle
Should have been a longer Doc
@Harry Munker very true touching story here .
@Harry Munker the story didn’t touch you ?
@Harry Munker problems always start at Home before going outside the home . Weather it be stealing or something else .
@Harry Munker Please shut up
Wow. What a story. Massive respect to this guy. It’s never too late to change
These are the stories that should be on tv all the time! My heart couldn’t be happier. Thank you for showing the most amazing side to humans, with that reminding me for believing in people! Don’t ever stop! You are amazing!!!
Actually made me cry for the first time in years.
What an inspirational story...that the woman changed his direction in life with that one very important decision. I hope he finds her, so he can tell her how she impacted his life...by giving him a second chance at a fulfilling successful life.
I keep rewatching theses stories there incredible
All it takes is just one person to show that they believe in you, thank goodness for that probation officer. She really ignited something beautiful in him. He should be so immensely proud of himself ❤️
What a truly amazing storyteller. Had me on every word.
"I didn't need him to have the faith in me because I knew what steps I wanted to take"
The difference that having faith in yourself and others can make. Amazing.
This story perfectly illustrates the power each individual can have, by choosing to be kind.
bullying needs stop. Its rife in all schools. It goes unnoticed
Many people have been bullied and don't find the excuse to make the wrong choices. At the end of the day wether anyone likes the reality of it or not everyone makes a choice good or bad they have either benefits or consequences. I'm glad he's made the choice to stop living the criminal lifestyle but I question what they were going to charge him 10years for because it has to have been something pretty bad for a 10 year sentence. I was bullied throughout all of my school life even having a brick thrown in my face when I was young
His story is so relatable. I remember being in school and seeing people who where like him. In the wrong crowd. If only they heard your story. Schools need to get messages like this to their students a lot more then they do. I went through 13 years of school and heard one story about this.
