I Got There

I’m not a drug dealer. I’m not a rapper. I’m not an athlete. But I am very successful.

That’s not how you’re supposed to open a speech if you’re a successful businessman. Especially if you’re a successful minority businessman in America. But I’m no ordinary businessman, this was no ordinary speech, and I’ve had no ordinary life.

This is the opening to JeVon’s story, compellingly told in
I Got There.

Gripping, heartbreaking, enlightening, and ultimately uplifting, I Got There proves that no obstacle is too difficult to conquer–and that the game can be won by anyone, from anywhere
