Who or what is the inspiration behind this book?
I attended a seminar at the Chicago State University and learned about human trafficking and how this epidemic is corrupting our society. The lack of knowledge and danger to victims inspire me to write something about this abusive behavior and exciting read.
What cause are you most passionate about and why?
I believed that I am passionate about justice for all. Living in a safe community free of crime, danger, and prejudices. There is nothing more important than one’s safety, and happiness. You cannot find happiness unless you are free to enjoy life and life cannot be appreciated unless you are free from the possibility of harm.
Do you have any rituals you follow when you finish a piece of work?
Yes, celebrate. Is a tremendous relief when you finish a well-researched chapter, manuscript or task. Is like a weight is lifted off your shoulders.
