As an English major while attending Delaware State University, he was inspired to write an urban book based on his life, street observations, education, and urban experiences.
This book will excite you and might even knock your socks off. Its theme is “Just because you are from the hood, does not mean you can’t succeed.” This book will challenge your thinking, move your thoughts forward, matriculate your opportunities to succeed, improve your relationships, build your friendships, and assist you in surviving being from a city as well as providing techniques for becoming a strong leader.
If you can believe, you can achieve. If you have a plan of action, in time you will be successful. If you keep powerful people in your circle, without a doubt you will be ambitious. Remember, common sense is free, and life is about making great choices.
Through his experiences in the US Marine Corps Reserves and Delaware State University in the late eighties and early nineties, Allen realized that discipline is needed in order to be successful. In return, he has given to many urban communities across the state of New Jersey.
Allen is a motivational speaker, academician, and percussion clinician who inspires youth and adults to better their lives through education, music, sports, academics, and leadership. These efforts from 1994 to the present include giving back to urban communities through college fairs, classroom presentations, and work as a clinician both in high schools and in historically Black colleges and universities.view less
