The heart of my story is about my struggles to play professional basketball in the NBA, and
how I've found a new purpose in life after my dreams were shattered. How does a Black
man accept failure when society has placed him in a prison made of glass, seeing himself only
as he imagines others see him, expecting him to conform to predetermined expectations and
stereotypes? How does a man who has spent his entire young adult life face the reality that the
foundation of his identity has been a facade? Will he succumb to the pressure to live up to
extraneous judgements, or will he carve his own path to freedom? My memoir is more than just
a story about a Black kid from Maryland who dreamed of playing in the NBA. It's also
about self-discovery and redemption. It's about going against the norm and looking inward.
It's a social commentary about systemic racism, America's failed educational system,
and how society tells Black and Brown kids that their success will only be through physicality
and not intellectualism. This prison in glass must be shattered for all people to discover their
potential and attain true liberation in their lives.
