Publications
I am proud to promote my first published book, “2 Close Apart”. I started writing this book over 20 years ago. It includes the wisdom I learned from events growing up in the South. Through this book, I was able to create a mental map of the process I endured, the challenges I overcame and wisdom I gained against overwhelming odds. I invite you to experience my journey from Mississippi, Texas and finally to Washington state as a black man navigating the cultural challengins of American society.
