Description
Malik Al Nasir's powerful coming-of-age memoir tells the story of surviving physical and racial abuse to discover a new sense of self-worth. Born into care at nine, Malik spent his adolescence in a system marked by violence, neglect, and exploitation.
A chance meeting with Gil Scott-Heron at 18 changed everything: Malik's introduction to Black history, development of his voice through poetry and music, and the discovery of empowerment under mentorship. Written with lyricism and power, this frank memoir highlights how institutional racism can debilitate a child, yet how creativity, self-expression, and solidarity helped uncover potential.
