Join us in Pikeville, KY for a special stop on the Me and Poverty book tour—an event for those who work with, believe in, and care deeply about our youth.
Me and Poverty: A Journey of Inspiration and Escape is my story of growing up in generational poverty, facing abuse and neglect, and even navigating life as a homeless youth. But more than anything, it’s about hope, faith, and breaking the cycle. It’s a roadmap for those who serve young people in hard places—teachers, counselors, pastors, parents, and mentors.
This isn’t just a book signing. It’s a gathering with purpose.
What to Expect:• A heartfelt talk on the story behind the book• A reading of select passages• A live Q&A session• Book signing (books available for purchase)• A portion of each book sold will go toward scholarships for Appalachian students
Your local Green Dot program will be set up and presenting as well! Their motto is, “No one has to do everything but everyone has to do something.”
Whether you’ve walked a similar road or walk beside youth who are on it now—you’re invited.
Let’s continue this journey together in Pikeville—because every breakthrough starts with a conversation.
