Book Description
My Nia, My Purpose is the story of how I became a single parent to my Speical Needs daughter Nia and grew as a man in return. Nia's diagnosis of Autism began a new chapter in my life that is still being written today. The responsibility of being the parent of a Special Needs Child caused some doors to open and others to close shut for me. I needed to first learn the impact Autism would have on our lives and how I could help Nia become the best person possible. My doubts about my abilities were always at hand and rising above them proved challenging. I leaned on family and friends to gain a perspective on the job I did raising Nia. Words of wisdom and a simple shoulder to cry on were enough to keep my hopes up. In my determination to prove to everyone I could raise Nia alone, I thought I had to defer my dreams. It was Nia and her needs that came first, there was no room for what I wanted. Along the way I learned that I had could not find happiness if I could not forgive my past. My Nia, My Purpose takes the reader on my journey that made many praise me for the job I had done as a single father and how knowledge and understanding was the bridge to my understanding my child.

Book Description
I love Kwanzaa and what it stands for. More than a holiday, Kwanzaa and the Nguzo Saba principles are a framework for Life! In this book, 7 Principles for Purposeful Living, the principles are offered as a way to bring clarity, purpose, passion and meaning to your life. This book will change how you see yourself and how you live your life. In 1966 Dr. Maulana Karenga created Kwanzaa, the first pan-African holiday. He said his goal was to ""give African Americans an alternative to the existing holiday and give African Americans an opportunity to celebrate themselves and their history, rather than simply imitate the practices of the dominant society."" The rituals of the holiday promote African traditions and Nguzo Saba, the ""seven principles of African Heritage.""
