🦁 In today's fast-paced world, many of us can relate to the challenge of finding our true identity amidst the noise and distractions of everyday life. Whether it's societal expectations, career pressures, or personal insecurities, the journey to self-discovery can often feel like a daunting and elusive quest. 🦁 🦁 But here's the thing: finding our identity is not meant to be easy. It's a process of self-exploration, growth, and self-acceptance that requires patience, courage, and resilience. It's about peeling back the layers, uncovering our passions, values, and beliefs, and embracing the unique qualities that make us who we are. I am excited to share that one of the Becoming Lion contributing authors is my dear colleague, friend, and brother, David Ulloa M.S. David currently serves as the Mentoring Coordinator for the entire City of Alexandria, Virginia. 🦁 In Becoming Lion, David peels back the layers and describes the complexities of establishing a multi-cultural identity that honors his Afro-Latino heritage. In addition, David powerfully articulates how mentoring has played a critical role in his personal and professional development. Learn more about David's journey at the Becoming Lion Red Carpet Book Launch on May 17 The Universities at Shady Grove.

🦁 The Roar of Becoming Lion is getting louder as our launch date of Friday, May 17 quickly approaches! 🦁 One of my goals for Becoming Lion is to elevate the voices of young lions as they share their stories of mentorship and identity formation. My anthology contains a section that highlights the powerful voices of four contributors from Generation Z. I am also pleased to announce that I have commissioned a young artist, Joseph Williams to provide artwork for all of our Becoming Lion Launch Events. Joey currently studies at Prince George's Community College and aspires to teach art in the university setting. Not only will Joey be attending and displaying his artwork at our Red Carpet Lion Launch on May 17 at The Universities at Shady Grove, Joey will also be leading a Becoming Lion Art Workshop at the CREATE Arts Center Inc. on Friday, May 24.
