He was born in Biloxi, MS on September 9, 1984, to the parents of Ollivette Samuels and Alfonso Bailey Jr. Growing up as a child, Allen was quiet and shy but enjoyed making people laugh. At an early age, he joined Main Street Missionary Baptist Church under the late Dr. Kenneth Haynes Sr., where he was very active in the youth ministries, such as the drill team and youth choir. Allen relocated with family to Jackson, Michigan where he graduated from Jackson High School in 2003. Upon graduation, he began a 15-year career with Foot Locker Inc. This allowed Allen to travel to many cities in Michigan, Ohio, and Illinois as a Manager Trainer and Manager. Some of his achievements include Sales Leadership Award from 2008-2015, Coaches Award, Manager of the Year, Top Percent Gain, and #1 Dollar Per Transaction Award. During his career, Allen’s love for shoes flourished. Allen loved Michael Jordan, was a huge LSU fan and favored LeBron James. Allen enjoyed bringing a smile to people’s faces and offering an encouraging word when needed to family, friends, and even strangers.
