    About this ebook

    Growing up in Charleston, SC in a small town there
    were countless infl uences ranging from the southern
    hospitality to the Gullah culture being passed down
    from generation to generation. Along my journey to where I am
    now Ive took countless losses from some of my friends getting
    incarcerated to losing close friends/family in tragic deaths.
    Throughout middle school and high school I wrote these series
    of writings to express what Ive seen and been through and to
    give others a close glimpse of the life the typical young black
    male faces within my town of Hollywood. The small town full of
    big dreams is only few words to describe the place I call home.
