King joined hate groups in her early teens after being bullied throughout school and dealing with tensions at home.

After fleeing to Chicago, Illinois, she returned to Florida, where she was arrested and incarcerated at the Federal Detention Center in Miami.

During her sentence, King met women who held her accountable for her beliefs but ultimately disarmed her aggression with compassion, which began the process of disengagement.
