Colon is serving as a youth case manager at Sheffield Place, a transitional living center that focuses exclusively on providing treatment and life skills for homeless mothers. In the interview, Colon is candid about his own life experiences: moving to Florida from Puerto Rico at 14 to pursue a basketball career, the pitfalls of the youth basketball circuit in the U.S., how he came to be interested in social work, the ups and downs of his post-basketball career, and more.
