About

"How did you survive?" is a question often asked of me when I tell the stories of my transitional teenage years. The Little Black Boy answers that question with a story of a young man's survival of family issues, community dysfunctions, relocation, and life's dramatic changes during an era marred by gangs, crack, violence, and other effects of systemic racism where the victims are
always vilified.



This is a survival story told from the perspective of an inner city kid who was forced to grow up early while experiencing the joys and pains of matriculation. I am very transparent in discussing the traumas that molded me, and I hope that my transparency encourages you to be open and honest with yourself. This story, like my life, is no tragedy though. You will definitely laugh at my misguided adventures. Finally, this is a story of redemption where I discuss the power of forgiveness, the strength to stand, and the power of your presence. This book is a spiritual journey as much as it is physical. My goal is for us to understand that you are not defined by your circumstances, you are not alone, you are worthy of your dreams, and you deserve love, peace and happiness.
