The Alarm Clock

In The Alarm Clock, Darrell Q. Slade breaks down why it's essential to maneuver in silence as you level up while remaining true to yourself. "Better to have more progress with less movement opposed to more movement with less progress."An African American ProverbThis novel is broken down into twelve distinct chapters, symbolic of twelve hours on the clock. Slade was strategic when putting this book together; in this novel you'll learn how he managed to elevate through his obstacles while meeting with adversity, simultaneously. The objective of this book is to spark hope in the kids that come from a similar upbringing as the author. We determine our own destiny, not anyone else. The systems we rely on in America aren't set up for us to succeed, especially when the oppressor defines our success. Therefore we must position ourselves to create our own wealth and divert those assets, back into our communities. This will implement an healthy and stable environment in our low income communities. As Emory Jones say "BET ON YOURSELF."Everyone has an Alarm Clock that will wake the World." #STAYWOKE
