"This compact journey and testament to the talent and perserverance of Kelvin De’Marcus Allen intrigues me. Allen goes from the past to an advocacy for a wholesome future of America itself. It’s indeed part of the pride and soul of black folks."

"Kelvin De’Marcus Allen has crafted a luminous narrative that speaks volumes to those of us who came of age during and immediately after the Civil Rights Movements."

Thomas McDonals
News & Observer, Raleigh, NC

"Equally doused with warmth, piss and vinegar, Allen wisely chronicles snapshots of the coming of age of a young boy – and the shame, insecurity and despair of growing up illegitimate, poor and black in a society in which those who are stigmatized as different or those who fail to meet social standards of adequacy are made to feel inferior or deficient, sometimes both."
