Chasin’ Freedum is more than a story about a man attempting to escape prison. It is a story about Quawntay’s struggles and continuous cycles of misfortune. It is an entertaining, touching, and inspiring memoir that provides a glimpse into the mind and heart of a man who has been described as a wise fool, a rebel, a humanitarian, an escape artist, and simply a man determined to turn a life of misfortune into a fortune.
Quawntay’s story has a message of hope. One that should inspire you to find your meaning and purpose in life and change how you perceive young black men trapped in the system.

In an extraordinary twist of fate, Quawntay “Bosco” Adams, who was sentenced to 35 years in prison for possession of marijuana, emerged from his incarceration with astonishing ambition. Upon reclaiming his freedom, he charted an unexpected path that led him straight to the heart of Hollywood.
From a prisoner to a producer, his journey is nothing short of inspirational. He recalled, “When I got out of prison, I started networking, raised millions of dollars, put together an amazing cast of A-listers, and started producing the movie.”
We had the pleasure of speaking with Quantay at Benzinga’s Capital Conference in Miami earlier this year. We moderated a panel about entrepreneurship with Quantay and Dreka Gates. You can read about it here at Benzinga.
