The Heart of a Black Man
Co-Author
Mel is a co-author in the new anthology “The Heart of a Black Man”. It is a book filled with black men sharing their story of triumph over adversity and racial trials to fulfill their dreams.
For centuries black men have faced many disparities. Many were lost, broken, and defeated, while others stood firm and advocated for their rights.
Rather than being an avenue to protest or stoke social discord, by shedding light on the heart, the pain, and the psychological wounds that have impaired the physical and mental well-being of Black men for generations, this book aims to share stories to encourage, empower, inspire, and offer hope to readers around the world.
Courageous Woman Magazine's
