Grind and single parenthood on one side of his family, mental health and addiction issues on the other, Derek Lewis's childhood role was to protect himself and his younger brothers from hardship and abuse. Growing up in Washington, DC, in the 1970s, it was enough just to survive. But Lewis demanded a different future for himself and his family.
