Books & Literary Works: The Black Testament Trilogy
Exploring identity, choices, and the complexity of the human experience through storytelling.
I am the author of The Black Testament Trilogy, a literary series that examines the human condition, challenges assumptions, and sparks deeper conversations about the forces that shape our lives. My writing blends lived experience, social analysis, and years of engagement with communities impacted by systemic barriers.
I believe stories can reach people in ways traditional advocacy cannot—creating unique spaces to examine identity, power, morality, and transformation.
Literary Offerings:
-
The Black Testament Trilogy (Books)
-
Author talks, book discussions, and club engagements
-
Literary presentations and moderated conversations
-
Educational and community-based storytelling workshops
-
Speaking engagements on writing, identity, and personal transformation
This literary work is a direct extension of my broader commitment to education, storytelling, and creating spaces for meaningful dialogue.
Speaking, Training & Facilitation
Turning lived experience, education, and professional practice into action.
I deliver keynote speeches, professional training, workshops, and facilitated conversations for universities, correctional institutions, nonprofits, government agencies, and community groups.
My journey from incarceration to UC Berkeley—where I earned degrees in Sociology and Social Welfare and am now pursuing my Master of Social Welfare—shapes my approach to leadership and community transformation. Drawing on my work with Berkeley Underground Scholars, Rising Scholars at City College of San Francisco, and the Ubuntu Justice Initiative, I design programs that challenge assumptions, share practical knowledge, and spark systemic change.
