Stran Ded Red: The Art of Thriving in Hostile Environments

Imagine earning a six-figure salary, living your dream life, when suddenly everything crumbles-your career, your stability, your sense of self. This is the reality I faced, and it's the heart of my memoir, STRAN DED RED: The Art of Thriving in Hostile Environments. This book chronicles my journey as a Black male educator in Washington, D.C., navigating a challenging environment that tested my resolve. Facing loss, professional setbacks, and personal trials, I rebuilt my life from the ground up. STRAN DED RED serves as both a raw, first-hand account of those turbulent times and a reflective guide on resilience, offering insights on how to not only survive but thrive when the odds seem stacked against you. It's a story of perseverance, adaptability, and finding strength in the face of adversity.
