Willie Cordero

As a misguided teen, Willie sold drugs in the Hartford projects. Witnessing his father's demise due to heroin abuse, he reassessed his choices. After a chance encounter with a stranger, he found his calling to the church, and turned his life around.

Now a minister, salsa singer, devoted husband and father, Willie gives counsel and spreads faith to those who need guidance.

Here Willie tells a story about how the secretary at his high school made an impact on his life.
