The Ghetto Blues

<p>My legacy is important to me. I want to leave a legacy that my children and grandchildren could be proud of. A legacy that would be a blueprint for future generations to tweak and make better.<br /><br />I write this book for future generations to learn grow and inspire to be a better you. This book is the story of my life and based on true events. It’s about a young lady that struggled through her identity crisis and was raised in unstable environments and poverty. <br /><br />A story about a life of tragedy trepidation but triumph. I never accepted the ideology of a victim. Instead I embraced strength resilience and a warrior’s philosophy. I fit the perfect description of Tupac Shakur’s meaning of the saying a rose that grew from the concrete. When the odds were stacked against me I continued to grow mentally physically and spiritually. <br /><br />I believe that you are only a victim when you have no choice; otherwise you are an enabler. I had no choice being born into poverty but I had a choice on whether to rise above my circumstances. <br />My desire was to break the mental and physical chains plagued in our communities and instill new ones for me and my children.<br /><br />My story goes out to all the people that suffered and survived The Ghetto Blues. I hope to transform and inspire you to never give up on you.</p>
