Advance Praise
"I truly appreciate how open the author is in sharing the imperative need for the black community to foremost love one another, then advance in our thinking, behaviors and personal accountability to our community.
The author just as strongly critiques America for its intentional destruction and continued harshness of that same community.
The characters in this story beautifully display how the struggles of real life trauma are always with us, no matter our level of success or the greatness we have been called to in life.
I will definitely b reading this book again and putting these wise words into action within my own life! - H. Marie
The author provides a clear and passionate articulation of the black perspective in America. This perspective is felt throughout each character from start to finish. What impressed me most about Knewgoat was how the author was able to express anger, laughter, love, growth and struggle in only 196 pages and leaves the reader with an array of emotions by the end. - Deirdre
Beautiful written piece of fiction that isn’t fiction to the Black Experience in this White America. This easy to read, comprehend and relatable work is extremely refreshing and real. The verbal jabs at reality and current events keeps the content fresh and grounded as well. As a Black American male, I highly recommend this read! May we all attempt to exceed greatness!!! Like Hassan and henceforth, his author! - Jeff C
