Out of the norm, the book is an interesting piece penned to eulogize some of the most notable people in our world and also the everyday man in literary and entertaining language..

Easy to understand, it is a motivational and inspiring work, making use of beautiful illustrations, rich anecdotes and uncommon figurative language.

The very first in its series, to be followed subsequently by another volume, SHOUTOUTS TO THE WORLD [Volume 1] is a deep and powerful one which will certainly refresh you anytime of the day.

EXCERPT

And so, a shoutout to everyone who fights for the truth-

To everyone who waits for it, who stays as real, who has a dream

Yes, a shoutout to everyone who has a gift

To everyone who has a kid, who has a teen, even who strives for their people 

Therefore, shoutout to the boys I love—

The young that follow, my protégés, the wealths of Tomorrow

Shoutout to the girls I tend—

The youngs of them, they’re many; yes, they’re not for sorrows

And so, shoutout to my mentors in life

My honor is ripe, my reverence; oh yes, my concept is fine

Shoutout to the method and style—

Of the writing, of the poetry; oh yes, I have been learning

Which now brings me to sending a greater shoutout to the greatness foretold 

To the greatness in place, oh yes, to the one on the way…
