Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the book written in the vernacular style of your upbringing?.
My book authentically captures the essence of my journey through life, presented in the vernacular style that reflects my roots and upbringing. While African American readers resonate with this familiar language, I understand that individuals from different cultures might find it challenging. Nevertheless, I've chosen not to have someone interpret my story as one of the most special aspects of my narrative is the fearless expression of my experiences.
What motivated me to write this Book
Sharing my story holds myriad reasons, but at its core, it's about reclaiming my identity. I've felt that my sense of self was taken from me, and the path to getting it back is by sharing it with as many people as possible. This isn't just for me; it's about providing my family and future generations with a sense of belonging and inspiration to achieve greatness.
What makes your story unique?
One of the most remarkable aspects of my story is my ability to fearlessly write and share it. Self-publishing on platforms like Amazon, creating the correct files, designing the cover, and building my website were pivotal moments. I've fought against the forces that often keep individuals of my status stagnant, providing little opportunity for advancement. Your presence here, reading this message, is nothing short of a miracle.
How did you overcome challenges with spelling and grammar?
The transformation in my life, especially in enhancing my language skills, began when I started working at Nissan North America headquarters. Despite initial doubts about my abilities, I persevered, ultimately earning the title of Employee of the Month while collaborating with the executive team. It's noteworthy that rumors circulated about my potential dismissal in the early days, but I defied expectations by teaching myself to spell and type continuously. This journey has equipped me with numerous stories of perseverance and faith, which I am eager to share with anyone seeking motivation.
