Forever Young, Living Wreckless

Growing up in Charleston, SC in a small town therewere countless infl uences ranging from the southernhospitality to the Gullah culture being passed downfrom generation to generation. Along my journey to where I amnow Ive took countless losses from some of my friends gettingincarcerated to losing close friends/family in tragic deaths.Throughout middle school and high school I wrote these seriesof writings to express what Ive seen and been through and togive others a close glimpse of the life the typical young blackmale faces within my town of Hollywood. The small town full ofbig dreams is only few words to describe the place I call home.
