Bobby Blaque Remained At An Orphanage Until The Age Of Three
Until he was adopted by a white family in Sweden, who Blaque claimed were loving, and very kind, but to a young child like Bobby, you have so many questions, and the constant looming feeling of detachment from your peers just simply won’t leave, it’s very hard to see the world through rose coloured glasses, and doesn’t provide a solution to the feeling and trauma of being orphaned.
“I know my mom did what she had to do to keep me safe, I don’t know if she’s alive today but I do this for her, for us, so maybe one day I can go back and find her and give her the life that she deserves. I always had the feeling that someone is watching over me. I can just assume the worst since Colombia is not a country where the American dream exists, if you were born poor, you most likely stay for and die poor. All I know Is that I can feel her presence and that feeling alone I believe is the reason ive had the stamina to keep pushing this far.”
Bobby Claimed To Have Gotten Himself Into A Decent Amount Of Trouble As A Kid

A lot of people in this industry cant really see outside of the box, chasing pennies instead of putting in that hard work for less to get more down the road.”
