From Prison Letters to Published Books: My Journey as an Author
In this video, I take you through the deeply personal and transformative journey behind my two recently published books, 27thletters Revised and The Timekeeper of Justice.
I share the story of how my letters to my daughter, written during my incarceration, became the foundation for 27thletters. These letters were my way of staying connected, offering guidance, and sharing lessons despite the walls between us. Publishing them was a way to turn pain into purpose, creating something timeless for her and others who might find solace and strength in the words.
I also dive into the process behind The Timekeeper of Justice, a book inspired by real-life experiences of attending young men’s murder trials after I won my own appeal in 2010. This project emerged from years of supporting lifers, navigating the legal system, and witnessing stories that deserved to be told. With a foreword by Lamar Skeete, The Timekeeper of Justice bridges my personal journey with a broader narrative of accountability, redemption, and resilience.
Join me as I discuss the purpose and passion behind these books and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.

Whether it’s someone with a fancy title or someone society overlooks, we tend to give certain...
Dr Umar - "Race matters" VS Why Race Shouldn't Matter When Choosing a Partner.
Переглядів 1,1 тис.3 місяці тому
In this episode, I dive into the illusion of ‘race’ when it comes to choosing a partner. Inspired by attending a conference where Dr. Umar was a presenter, I reflect on how the emphasis on race, particularly in the context of relationships, is counterproductive to our growth as humans. We are spiritual beings having a human experience, and it’s time to challenge the constructs that divide us. T...

    Every race need to be with their own. That's how God want His people to be, no mixing with other nations, it's a sin. Promoting whites on black men/women is not acceptable no entering into the Gates of Heaven😢😂😅 Black people should know better not to go outside of their race, that's a wrong choice.

    The civil rights movement was deemed unconstitutional by an anti-color/anti-black pro white supremacy congress that was still allowing mass lynchings and refused to deem the KKK as a terrorist group against negroes within their country😭of course anything to reverse the system they set into place would be deemed unconstitutional thats COMMON sense…someone is a KKKoon…you can choose not to see race if you want just like I can choose not to look at the sun but just because I say the sun isnt in the sky doesn’t mean its not there😂

    Basing your opinion off of race in a world where race is the first thing seen on a visual/physical, mental, spiritual, and political perspective doesn’t mean you have a mental disorder it means you have common sense of seeing the bigger picture of how things need to be before engaging in certain ways with other racial counterparts…and you sir are definitely not qualified to diagnose people with mental disorders you sound like a eugenics scientist saying that “opinion”😂

I was moving ppl with words but not by my actions, but one thing I noticed is that I wasn’t happy with myself and I wld be hard on myself by feeling low vibrations cause I disliked how I felt i worked very hard at being the example that brought me peace And so much has changed in my life that is governed by true love and happiness.
