I met this amazing talented author a few months ago and immediately we clicked. He writes about his humble beginnings growing up in South Central Los Angeles surrounded by lots of love to his personal experiences in its rough streets surrounded by the drugs, gangs and violence. His stories will make you reflect on a time in your life when there were no real responsibilities and Saturday mornings with a bowl of cereal watching cartoons and Soul train was living the good life.
