My tribulations, I talk about during my journey are like the stories countless others experienced during the Great Migration period from the South to the North. What so many took for granted, so few were able to realize. I am convinced that each of our lives has a purpose and I say this because what I experienced was what God had planned for me. God has placed me in the position to help others as I have been helped by others. The people I have met during my life's journey have served in many aspects as a catalyst for me to work through them, to set the stage for changes. I hope that all reading this book will appreciate the values of my history; then understand how it relates to their history. For I am who I am through my environmental experiences; you are who you are from your experiences or who you will become!
