""There is a silent code that exists among men which calls for us not to speak about our early life experiences, because we were raised, and society led us to believe, that keeping those feelings and emotions inside were an integral part of becoming a man. To talk about them would be a sign of weakness and would also lead to an emotional unraveling. However, in the book Our Stories Our Voices: Black Men Speak Their Truth, this code is shattered into thirteen pieces when the exact same number of African-American co-authors courageously share their deepest secrets and unique life journeys as they turned pain into power, and trauma into triumph. This book is a must read for anyone interested in understanding the personal challenges and life-changing experiences of black men in America.""' Dr. Jeffrey R. Gardere (aka Dr. Jeff) M.
