After receiving his Juris Doctorate from the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Law, Tyrone Flowers chose to use his law degree to help high-risk urban youth, and now has more than 20 years of professional experience in the juvenile justice field. He is the founder of Higher M-Pact, a Kansas City-based organization dedicated to transforming today's at-risk youth into tomorrow's leaders. Tyrone himself experienced a turbulent childhood, as he was born to teenage parents and shuffled between foster homes and state youth facilities. Just prior to his high school graduation, he was shot by a basketball teammate and has since been confined to a wheelchair. Today, he is an inspiration for his perseverance in overcoming numerous obstacles to becoming a highly-regarded, award-winning youth and community leader who's touched countless lives.
