WHO SHOT THE TRUTH?No, the truth is not dead! It may have been shot, wounded, bruised, paralyzed, and perhaps even put in a coma. But miraculously, it awakens someday and begins to remember every single detail of its journey.I always knew I was suppose to write this book about my life. For every young girl and boy that lives within each of us, it is time to awaken the truth. "Life for me ain't been no crystal stair", (as written by the late great Langston Hughes, poet) but it has taught me to be strong, molded me into resilience, nurtured me with compassion, girded me with determination, and branded me with courage. It has made me into the Woman that I am still becoming, as growth is constant progress. Despite my environment, my circumstances, the hand of life that I was dealt, I have worked diligently over the past 40 years to change my perspective of the incidents that transpired in my life. How can I grow from trauma? How can I gain wisdom from pain? How can I recognize the beauty of it all?As a child, I did not get to choose my family, I did not get to choose where or how I grew up. As an adult, although I do get to choose, I have not always made the right choices for my life as I was ill-equipped to do so. But today, I choose to have a voice and speak on behalf of those who were never given the opportunity.My truth is not dead! It may have been shot, wounded, bruised, paralyzed, and lying dormant in a coma; but it is time for the truth to rise up and do some spiritual, emotional and mental rehabilitation. Now is the time to speak the truth. I have a voice and it deserves to be heard - and so do you!
