Black College Boy Goes to Jail

By Shaheed ChosenOne

This story is based on true events and provides deep insight into the life of a poor young Black boy raised in a tough neighborhood and an overcrowded apartment. While navigating the struggles of poverty, he also grapples with his sexuality as a gay or bisexual man. Despite facing countless adversities and obstacles, he remains determined to build a better future. He graduates high school and goes on to college, though the drama of life continues to follow him at every turn.

In the end, he finds himself in his final semester of college, working hard to obtain his bachelor's degree. However, he faces legal troubles that put everything he's worked so hard for at risk.

Unfortunately, this is the harsh reality for many people, especially Black and Brown individuals in America. The justice system can derail lives, even for first-time offenders like this young man-a college student and full-time restaurant employee.

This book is not an attack on the justice system but rather an unfiltered look into the life of this young man as he navigates growing up alone. With a mother battling addiction, a father in jail, and a society hostile to his identity, he struggles to hide his sexuality during a deeply homophobic time while trying to discover who he truly is and who he wants to become.

Be warned: this book is graphic and highly detailed. If you're not ready for its rawness, it might not be for you. But if you are, it will feel like watching a movie, as its vivid scenes and captivating narrative draw you in completely.
