In movies, High School Prom is represented as a pivotal point showered in glamor and glitter. My prom was a significant moment, but not in the way it should have been. Check out my memoir, published in the Memoirist:

⭐NEW⭐

Some heroes play them on TV. Others live it in real life.

My new @medium.com essay is for those like actor Leonard Roberts, a man brave enough to tell the truth.

Got the attention span of a goldfish? 🐠 Then this next @medium.com post probably isn't for you.

It’s about TV, race, heroes (and 'Heroes'), and what happens when the people you look up to fall short.

Prepare for a read... later today.
