Discover how to win in the game of life in this inspiring memoir of one man's redemption and determination to heed his mother's advice.
Not everyone is born into a picture-perfect life. Whether your roots are stable or a little rough, broken, or even mysterious, you are here to learn the same lesson as everyone else⎯it matters not how you start the race but rather how you finish it.
In Two Strikes (XX) A Black Man in America, Tekoya Sr recounts his humble beginnings through ten inspiring chapters filled with poetry and script writing. Raised by an academically and athletically gifted single mother, he learned to think before he made a move with the help of his mother's Two Strike method. An ordinary black man from a broken home who overcame the odds, Tekoya challenges you to rethink how you approach your goals and teaches you how to pass the ultimate test by treating others with kindness, identifying roadblocks quickly, and remaining calm under pressure. For anyone struggling with personal strife, this unique memoir from a true original straight outta Swainsboro, Georgia demonstrates how to keep it together and remain P.I.M.P. tight.
