Book Synopsis



Memoir of a Hoodsta is an inspiring condensed book that takes the reader on a journey through the life of Johnny, the author. With vivid detail, the book delves into Johnny's difficult childhood and his interactions with notable celebrities. The book graphically explains Johnny's troubled past of abuse, neglect, and trauma he suffered daily at the hands of his mother's violent boyfriend.

As you read, you'll also get a glimpse into Johnny's interactions and memories with celebrities, and touches on friendship and death of the late Ermias "Nipsey Hussle" Asghedom. The book is full of graphic descriptions of his past struggles, including his involvement with the notorious Los Angeles street gang known as the Neighborhood Rolling Sixty Crips. The author details his multiple stints in prison, being shot multiple times, and losing an extensive amount of peers due to gun and gang violence. You'll follow him on his journey from a failed marriage and fatherhood due to living a criminal life in the streets to finding motivation and hope for a better future.

Memoir of a Hoodsta serves as a motivational tool to anyone who has experienced negativity or problems in their life. Through detailed examples of the author's real-life experiences, he shows that anything can be accomplished with willpower and persistence. His testimony proves that even with trials and tribulations, success is attainable.

Within the pages of this powerful book, you'll find poems that showcase the author's talent for conveying complex emotions through compelling language:

The poetic autobiography is a must-read for anyone who has faced adversity in their life and needs motivation to keep pushing forward. Whether you're struggling to overcome past trauma or find hope in a seemingly hopeless situation, Johnny's story will leave you feeling empowered and motivated to take on whatever challenges come your way.
