Stand Up! A Message to the Black Man: A Message of Hope and a Call to Action!

I wrote this book to share my story because it highlights my journey and how I experienced challenges, defeats, and victories while coming into my own. Those experiences gave me a greater awareness and appreciation of the blessings God has given to me. By telling my story, I hope to break down any challenges you may face and give you a different perspective in how to handle them. Through the reading, I hope you will be able to use the content as a guide to navigate through society in a purpose-driven way. This book also serves as a support tool and guide for you as a Black Man, because we all have had our ups and downs in life, and if a person tells you that he hasn't, he is not being truthful with you. As you reflect on your life, there will be times when you might not have all the answers; this is why this book is essential as you seek for those answers: ?A new direction in life;?Support and answers; ?How to get up while facing failure;?How to lead in your family and community;?How to live within your purpose; and ?How to build an economic and financial foundation.
