LaTosha Williams blocks a tear from slipping down her cheek as she walks toward a Cedar Crest apartment she rented nearly three decades ago. The two-
story complex off Bonnie View Road in Dallas takes her back to when she was a young wife with four kids, selling drugs out of an upstairs unit.
Williams, then 21, balanced two rents, leasing another home just minutes away on Humphrey Drive, where she and her family lived.
It’s been years since Williams retraced her steps to the time before she went to jail twice and collected a criminal record that would follow her through adulthood.
