Unveiling of the New Me
A practical path to personal renewal and community change
What if your growth became a public good?
Welcome to Unveiling of the New Me, a clear guide to self-discovery that does not stop with you. Rooted in the wisdom of our elders and the strength of community, this book shows how personal renewal can spark lasting change on our blocks, in our congregations, and across our cities.
Drawing on years of hands-on community work, including Homecomers and the Violence Free Zone, the author shares real lessons from programs that help returning citizens and neighbors step back into society as contributors and leaders. With contributions from Dr. Redd, a respected motivational speaker and mindset mentor, you will find a steady voice that challenges you to ask better questions and take better actions.
