"You A Oxtail: Don't Let Nobody Treat You Like Chicken Back" I didn't write this book just to make you hungry, though if you're from the islands, the moment you see "oxtail," your mouth probably already watering. No, this book is about value. Your value. And how too many of us, especially those who've been through hard times, heartbreak, or rejection, walk around forgetting who we are. See, oxtail used to be considered scraps. The leftover. The boney piece nobody wanted. But let me tell you, once it's seasoned right, simmered long enough, and cooked with love, it becomes the most flavorful part of the pot. The kind of dish people line up for, beg for second helpings, and yes, ask for extra gravy on top. So why are we out here letting the world treat us like chicken back? Now, don't get me wrong, chicken back has its place. It stretch a pot, yes. It fill bellies when times are hard. But it's known for being bony, thin, lacking substance. And too many of us, in our relationships, our workplaces, even in ministry, are settling for being treated like we got nothing much to offer. Like we're disposable. Like our only worth is in what we can do, not in who we are. This book is for the ones who've been overlooked, underestimated, or told they're "too much" or "not enough." The ones who had to rise up through rejection, like oxtail rising from the butcher's scraps to the main course. You're not just leftovers. You're the flavor. You're the soul of the stew. And baby, once God puts His hand on you--just like that pot on the fire--you become tender, powerful, and unforgettable. Inside these pages, you'll find stories, spiritual lessons, and yes, a little island seasoning, to remind you of your worth. We'll talk about Jesus, who never turned His nose up at the "least of these," but pulled up a seat for them. We'll talk about culture, identity, and the long simmer of healing. And we'll laugh, cry, and stir the pot together. Because you, my friend, are oxtail. Rich in flavor. Born of fire. And too valuable to be treated like scraps. So, let's reclaim our seat at the table. Extra gravy and all.
