A firm believer in a community pulling itself up by its bootstraps, Lewis Spears has devoted his life and career to manifesting this philosophy. Lewis is no stranger to the ills that plague Jersey City. Having been born and raised in the Booker T. Washington Projects, he saw, first-hand how a lack of education, direction, and mentorship negatively impacts one’s quality of life. Determined to change the narrative and break generational and institutional curses, he embarked on a journey to uplift his community by transforming lives-one young person at a time. At the book signing, Lewis will discuss some of the societal issues addressed in the book along with possible solutions.

This is going to be epic! You won’t want to miss it.
