Independent Journalism in Miami Needs You
We need to raise $10,000 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
“I’m signing my life away in the church,” Uncle Luke said as he prepared his election documents for notarization.
The reality candidate sat in the headquarters of WMBM radio studios in the New Birth Baptist Church close to his Liberty City birthplace.

“Y’all don’t understand that. Y’all folks that look at New Times don’t… understand that.
“Right now, I’ma throw my name in this hat, in the fire. But, y’know, I’m one of those Jesus disciples.”
Check the video to see Luke get emotional.
