Fight of My Life

A Memoir

What happens when a black man in America doesn’t have the coping and problem-solving skills to deal with the burden that his environment had placed upon him? He stays stuck in survival mode. Once upon a time on the eastside of Detroit was a kid who dared to dream much bigger than his circumstances. Born to a mother with limited education and a father he barely knew, it wasn’t long before he realized just what the world thought of people like him. Being a young black male in the ’90s made him a target of hate and an assumed statistic in the eyes of many. For years he would walk that path carved out for him. What no one counted on is that when that kid was thrown into the streets with the wolves he would take every scar, every battle, every war, every win, and every loss and use it all to fuel the engine that would drive him out of dangerous and cutthroat life of crime and into a world of fiction writing. The Fight of My Life book is not a rags to riches story, but a journey of street life, self-discovery, divine intervention, and purpose. When God saves you from yourself and your enemies too many times to count, at some point you have to bow to His mercy and tell the world of His greatness. This ride is not for the weak, and when it over my only hope is that I’ve inspired someone to change.
