## A Journey Rooted in Protection and Service
Burks' story begins in Hammond, Indiana, where despite limited resources, his family created an environment rich in values. His mother Lourdes and grandmother Mama Gret instilled in him principles of protection, dignity, and service that would shape his life's mission.
As a child, Burks naturally protected others, intervening when he saw injustice. This protective instinct, refined through his mother's wisdom about choosing battles wisely, evolved into a sophisticated understanding of how to protect communities through leadership and mental health advocacy.
