Growing up in Charleston, SC in a small town there were countless influences ranging from the southern hospitality to the Gullah culture being passed down from generation to generation. Along my journey to where I am now I've took countless losses from some of my friends getting incarcerated to losing close friends/family in tragic deaths. Throughout middle school and high school I wrote these series of writings to express what I've seen and been through and to give others a close glimpse of the life the typical young black male faces within my town of Hollywood. The small town full of big dreams is only few words to describe the place I call home.
