About this listen
I was born a BASTARD of southwest Philadelphia and raised in a rundown row house in one of America's most notorious GHETTOS, Camden, New Jersey. My upbringing was marked by a resilient mother, an inconsistent father, and the harsh realities of a city that claimed several of my immediate family member's lives, the youngest among them being a victim of police violence. I found myself embodying the archetype of an American stereotype.
Yet, I don't seek or need pity for my tumultuous past. Encouraged by my therapist, I embarked on a journey of emotional and psychological healing, delving into the depths of my traumas. Today, I invite you to witness the fruits of those therapy sessions, where I uncovered a simple yet profound life philosophy.
"Life is simple. Fundamental needs-food, water, shelter, and love-are all one requires to not only survive but thrive. It's the choices we make along the way, particularly the misguided ones, that determine the complexity of our lives."

Truth told with vivid imagery
This book takes you on a journey. I feel like you’re right there with the boy who becomes a man through the stories. At moments, it was difficult for me to hear because I imagined the struggles and the pains of this boy but if you’re looking for authentic accounts of humanity and life and family, this book is for you!

We will OVERCOME!
The importance of never judging a book by its cover…An only child who may have looked to some family and friends like he had it all….however we all have our work to do to overcome the dysfunction in our families and societal ills. I cried, I laughed, and applauded Tarik’s ability to receive help and guidance from his tribe to recreate himself and become his authentic self! I’m so proud…
