WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT JERMAINE
Britanny Allen
"This is a well written book of wisdom. The life lessons it holds are priceless. This book can relate to anyone! I loved this book!"
Eric P.
"You are an amazing speaker. Passion, conviction, powerful presence, and your voice...it politely vibrates the metal inside the walls of the building you're speaking in...No joke"
Ken G.
"Great Book! A must read for single female parents as well as young people in general. The author shares his biography to battle the myth that black men are absent in the home. In fact, there is a greater black male presence in the home than is portrayed. Very emotional book that brought back many memories of growing up during my own youth. Great book!"
