On November 18, 2013, my life would be forever altered. Not only was my life upended, but my family’s as well, especially my kids. I was sentenced to 20 years in prison for a plant that is now being sold legally in 40 of the 50 states in the US.

Over 20 years ago, we introduced medical marijuana to the state. It is a legally sold commodity now, but because of my felony conviction, I am forever barred in participating in this multi billion dollar industry here in Mississippi. While some states have allowed felons to participate, even moving them to the front of the line, Mississippi remains stubborn in forgiving and rehabilitating its ex cons.

Ten years later that time has become a distant memory in my life’s rearview memory. Presently, I divide my time between Clinton and Greenwood, managing my car lot, handling all of the personal injury and worker’s comp cases for J. Hardwick Law, running our family’s cattle farm and mentoring young black males. Life is good!

Kwame Moore originally from Greenwood has been in Jackson since transferring to Jackson State University from Grambling State University in 1992, where he was a member of the basketball team. He has worked as a legal assistant/investigator for over 30 years. Currently he manages the personal injury and workers comp cases for J Hardwick Law Firm, owns a car lot, a cattle farm and real estate throughout the State. He has 2 children, Nia a grad student in DC and Kolby a senior basketball player at William Carey University. He is married to Dr. Anesha Cowan.
