Hello. My name is Oronde (oh-RON-day) Ash. I am an author/educator/speaker on motivation, achievement, empowerment and change. I am also the founder of bygINC, a publishing, speaking, life coaching and communication media company.
My first novel 17 to Life: A Black Boy Memoir (On Becoming a Human... Being in America) was published in fall 2009 and is available for purchase.
To purchase a copy of 17 to Life, CLICK HERE. Follow the directions and the book will be mailed to you.
The book tells my story from age nine to seventeen, those troubling years when so much can go wrong for a young [black] man in America. Much went wrong then, but even more went right and my life was transformed for the better... forever. Read the book to find out how.
