“This is merely the literary trailer before the blockbuster hit! I consider this work the Chicken Noodle Soup for the ghetto soul, the hood intellect, and their parents. Spears speaks of generational curses, the impact that double consciousness has on the black man and yet still infuses a sense of hope, gratitude, and validation.”Shavonne M. McMillan, M.Ed. Middle School Principal “I’m awed at how Lewis was able to magnify the journey of the black man/boy through the lens of physical abuse, mental abuse, sexual abuse, poverty, death, education, and love. Lewis’s life speaks to the saying, “your present situation is not your final destination.” A must read for all who aspire to be GREAT!”Eric Rhett Jr.Black Entertainment Television (BET) In a time where our young black men are in crisis, Lewis Spears unapologetically uses his experiences growing up in various hoods in Jersey City, New Jersey, as an example to encourage others to shift the paradigm of negative stereotypes into positive outcomes. His message is simple: Growing up in the projects is not the end-all, it is the beginning of leading a life of purpose and doing your part for the betterment of your community. Lewis invites you to walk in his shoes as he learns to navigate the streets and endure familial dysfunction at home. Recognizing that mediocrity is not an option, he focused on school and took advantage of opportunities to broaden his knowledge. Lewis’s story is both a coming of age and coming full circle exhibition of finding your purpose, paying it forward, and selfless service to others. He hopes that readers will be inspired to do more in their communities.
