This book is a motivational and sincere conversation derived from my perspective, on a wide array of life's matters to provoke thought. While some have been directly experienced, others have been taken heed to in my challenged journey. Through affirmation and creative energy, I was only a vessel of these exchanges, reaching this point so that a platform of expression could be shared with you—the reader. I am sure some of you will be able to directly relate, in addition to the content of this book provoking plenty of debate as you absorb each page. Either way, I have humbly made it my heartfelt mission to empower, inspire, and influence you through each word. I represent the voice of the inner-city struggle, the Man with a vision that has had to spar with both the obvious and the inevitable. I also speak on behalf of those that have been stigmatized and labeled, the minority that is feared, misunderstood, and devalued...I am Al King.
