Embracing My Ancestry, Blackness, and Purpose in the African Diaspora

Life is truly a journey, and with every battle you fight, you gain the strength you’ll need to soar amongst the stars.

Are you struggling to discover your purpose? Are you having a hard time finding your way through life? Curious about where you’re headed and what you’re supposed to be doing? I’ve experienced all of this throughout my life’s journey. I was once a Black boy, and now I am a grown Black man. I have vivid memories of my journey as a young Black boy in America.

My journey was one filled with struggle and a quest to triumph over the many obstacles I faced. I am a child of Ghanaian immigrants and a first-generation American. My story is unique given my bi-cultural perspective and experiences. I believe that my story is important and that I have a responsibility to share it with other Black males coming of age in post-racial America.

This book was written for everyone with a dream larger than life itself. Throughout my life, I dreamt of taking flight toward my dreams, yet faced many obstacles and challenges that kept me on the ground. I want everyone that reads this book to know one thing, you were born to fly! Life is truly a journey, and with every battle you fight, you gain the strength you’ll need to soar amongst the stars.
