Kwanna Bradley

" Kwanna Bradley is a native of Chicago's southeast side where she was born and raised. She made her debut as an author with the release of her first memoir, "Death of an Ego" which outlined the hardships and struggles she had to face on her journey in order for her to become who she was destined to be. Eastside Crazy is introduced as the sophomore literature that is connected to a 4-part memoir series based on her life. She triumphantly shares her growing pains as she continues to embark on her journey to the road of redemption. Eastside Crazy takes the readers back to the beginning of her journey by defining how inner city children respond to their environments. Kwanna uses the experiences she encountered as a gang-member, a drug dealer along with a host of other criminal behaviors to reflect and touch basis on topics such as negative brain patterns, trauma and systematic conditioning. These subjects and more are all covered in the reading to invite the reader to mentally illustrate and stimulate a new programming of the mind.

Prequel Part I

Rise or Die

I wrote my first book based off my past and current experiences that I was dealing with during that particular time. The spiritual information that was shared was paraphrased from books that I have read. Collecting information and passing it on is a very compassionate and noble thing to do. However, actually processing the knowledge digested is the real trick.

When I was in isolation writing Death of an Ego, it was easy for me to maintain my spirituality because I had cut myself off from the world, not realizing that I needed to feel the weight of the universe in order for me to truly grow mentally and physically. It is universal law for one to undergo and endure the tests and tribulations that the universe has to offer. This is a process that cannot be skipped, ignored, or not taken seriously. There is absolutely no way for one to reach complete full alignment without fulfilling this principle. There is no
