Over the last decade, George has drawn both from his lived experience and his work experience as a highly-skilled trauma recovery practitioner to transform the lives of many who have decided to face the trauma of their past. After overcoming his own traumatic experiences (childhood sexual assault, physical abuse, bullying, and abandonment), George decided to follow the calling that was laid before him; to help individuals, families, and communities heal, discover the truest meaning of self, and to grow. He also has a special interest in the effects and intersection of historical and cultural trauma.
He is regarded as a trailblazer who utilizes his platform to speak on tough conversations; especially those centered on trauma and its deliterous affects within the African-American community; having made several appearances on media outlets such as Huffington Post Live, OWN Network’s Iyanla: Fix My Life and local radio & television outlets,
In 2014, George created, hosted, and produced Whispers in the Night, an acclaimed documentary that reports the full lifecycle of childhood sexual assault as experienced by three African American adult male survivors.

The documentary has amassed over 11,000 online views.
In 2015, he released a book titled SIT or STAND 2.0: Living Successfully Beyond Your Shadows. Inspired by his trials and triumphs, the book enables the readers to re-evaluate themselves and discover the true meaning of their life events in the same manner that has helped George transform his travails into a success story.
