Just Listen For A Change: A guide for today’s inner city youth to help them understand their fight against systemic racism and oppression

Have you ever wondered what happened to all the strong black leaders, why the black community is flooded with so many drugs, or why black men are quicker to jump into “da game” than they are to jump into a book ? Just Listen For A Change speaks on the systematic destruction of black ambition, potential, development, hope, and the design that lead to the corruption of the black community.

Written from the perspective of a young black man that was raised and groomed in “da streets”, the author sends a message to young black men across this nation who finds theirselves “trapped” inside what is known as “Da Game”. Inspired by the iconic work, “New Visions for Black Men” by Na’Im Akbar, the author aims to bring a new vision to young black men everywhere.
