Meet Herbert Washington who is with the Phoenix Boys Choir. Herbert opens up about his childhood and how his life changed in a way he couldn't imagine being the path of his destiny and his childhood dream. 

Herbert's childhood wasn’t ideal from a child’s eyes. He never met his father or older brother. His mother had schizophrenia. At 7, he was taken out of South Phoenix by child welfare services and sent to live in foster care for several months before living with his aunt, uncle, and cousin in Tempe. It wasn’t ideal yet again and his life rapidly changed yet again when he was kicked out at 14 and taken into the home of a friend's family and found his security and felt safe to be different in chasing a dream and talent with his gift of singing and performing.
