About the author
First born of his mother's three children, Trevon and his two sisters were raised in a single parent household. Excelling through kindergarten to 12th grade, Trevon graduated without difficulty. After his high school graduation and college not presenting any fulfilling paths to degrees, Trevon grew apprehensive to avoid a life "stand still." In 2004, in an attempt to avoid wasting his future and lacking a sense of direction in life Trevon decided to join the U.S. Marines with the hope of an opportunity to fight in the Iraq War. Not only because it was a good opportunity to obtain a degree but also because she didn't want her only son on a battlefield, his mother informed him of the outstanding nursing program which Prairie View A&M University was widely known for, as a worthy pursuit. Throughout his childhood he served as the "family doctor," tending to almost any and every injury possible. With the already existing desire to heal others within himself, he went off to college. His plan was to receive a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing, then become a cRNA, and finally become a critical care medicine anesthesiologist and finance a non-profit organization that would allow him to work with young adolescents. After gaining personal and professional experience in the medical field, he developed disdains for the profession that he felt as though could not be overlooked. With the medical field no longer within his ambitions, Trevon reflected on his childhood ambitions which were motivated by the odds of being economically disadvantaged. He then decided that he would teach as a professor. As a teacher or professor he would spend a great amount of time and positively affect the future generations throughout the years with, and fulfill one of his life's passions. While attending Prairie View Trevon met Prinston and from then onwards, it was destiny. For now teaching is on hold but in the near future, Trevon still intends on enlightening the minds of the future generations with metaphysics, physics, philosophy, and all else that is required so that they will be equipped to plan everything from family building to space missions.
Letter's to the my Sista
"Letters to my Sista, The Black Goddess" is a book that gives a reverence that weaves between the differentiating age groups of black women. The book is appropriately composed of "letters" which undoubtedly are laced with true emotion. Emotion that was stirred by the slanted depiction of black women from long before, yet continuing into today's mainstream media. There is no denying the existence of the awesome bond between the black woman and the black man after reading this book, despite a lack of effective representations of its existence. Joseph's perspectives are easily communicated while supported by pillars of sincerity. Honesty lies on each and every page with an abundance that almost invokes a sense of suspicion within the reader. If on your last strand of hope for unity between black women and black men, or if down to your last drop of faith in the black man's ability to recognize and acknowledge the black woman's worth...this is definitely your read.
