A Matter of Choice: Thinking freely living fully and forgiving unapologetically

At the end of the day life is a series of moments defined by two types of choices we make: how we choose to prepare for what might happen and how we choose to respond to what has happened. When your ability to make a choice is hindered you have just become a slave. How many modern slaves do we have walking around? In this volume I submit to you the reader that as we journey through our lives and as we face a world seemingly filled with hate and animosity we will have to make decisions in three key areas; our thinking our living and our relationships. The latter (relationships be it socially politically etc.) being a place where forgiveness is the glue that will hold it all together. What you decide and how you decide it will determine the course of your life. This is a principle that applies regardless of ones station in life.A Matter of Choice is a passionate and personal analysis of and commentary about a culture in crisis-that of Black inner-city and southern Americans. Despite a declining culture can we (Black America) truly have the American Dream? The mainstream narrative excludes Blacks from this dream. However as is everything our participation in such is only a choice away.In a society obsessed with the superficial that glorifies victimhood and idolizes oppression this short memoir serves as a reminder of the power of individuality and personal responsibility. Through vignettes of and commentary on some of my lifes experiences as a Black man in the United States of America I call you to think freely live fully and forgive unapologetically.
