Ghetto Bastard : A Memoir

I was born a BASTARD of southwest Philadelphia and raised in a rundown row house in one of America's most notorious GHETTOS, Camden, New Jersey. My upbringing was marked by a resilient mother, an inconsistent father, and the harsh realities of a city that claimed several of my immediate family member's lives, the youngest among them being a victim of police violence. I found myself embodying the archetype of an American stereotype. Yet, I don't seek or need pity for my tumultuous past. Encouraged by my therapist, I embarked on a journey of emotional and psychological healing, delving into the depths of my traumas. Today, I invite you to witness the fruits of those therapy sessions, where I uncovered a simple yet profound life philosophy. "Life is simple. Fundamental needs-food, water, shelter, and love-are all one requires to not only survive but thrive. It's the choices we make along the way, particularly the misguided ones, that determine the complexity of our lives."
