Background
M. Semi Bird is a Constitutional Christian Conservative who started his life’s journey in the ghetto of East Oakland, CA. He was born to a single mother of seven children, prior to the passing of the Civil Rights Act.
Semi's mother ensured that Semi was raised in a Christian environment and held accountable for his actions. Victim behavior was not tolerated in the household because Mrs. Bird wanted her children to become strong and resilient members of society.
Semi struggled in school, K-12 and dropped out of high school after completing his junior year to enlist in the United States Marine Corps. He would later enlist in the United States Army in 2001.
"When you end your life's journey and you want to know who was responsible for your success or failure, look in the mirror." - Semi's Mother, Rosa
