A Written Awakening

Gaylloyd Sissón, a writer and retired educator, speaks on his journey of self actualization and awareness. He grew up in Hawaii and most of his childhood was spent away from the troubles that many African Americans faced during the time he was growing up. His first encounters with blatant racism were not until his first visit to St Louis at 13 years old. His experience in the south awakened something of which he could only uncover through journaling and writing. It unconsciously shaped his life to the point and is writing a book about the events.
