Publisher's Synopsis
An uncompromising counternarrative, and invitation to every aspiring ally, moderate or proud American to peek inside black men's experiences during the twin-pandemic: COVID-19 and the continued pandemic of social injustices.
Through a blend of the hybrid culture that was heavily scrutinized, and the author is accustomed- equal parts urban and civil rights-these once empty pages are now intentionally filled with rawness, authenticity, and fact. Matthew invites the strong willed and curious reader to walk with him and six Black men to hear their stories.
Written during a time when facts were doubted, Walk with Me intentionally upholds feelings and experience with research. Complemented by statements from Black men in law enforcement and public health, as well as reviews from experts in the fields of well-being, racial trauma and structural whiteness, this book takes an unapologetic look at the country we love and how we can and must do better.
A warm, yet unyielding welcome into the author's mind, heart, and life experience, Walk with Me is a source of emotional resonance, and a weapon for allies to use in the fight for justice.
