Bulia's Making of a Man

By: Roosevelt Bradley, Krista Zimonick - editor, Patricia Freeman - foreword and editor

Narrated by: Kevin Howard

Lessons learned from a single, determined mom with a sixth-grade education who raised her boy into a successful man, and a top executive!

This autobiography is a story of inspiration to all, particularly Black boys, who are growing up with a single mother playing the role of both parents. The author, nicknamed “Man,” chronicles memories and lessons he learned from childhood to manhood, sharing how his mom, who wanted a better life for her son, taught him the leadership and “common sense” success principles that took him from the hood of Miami to the boardroom, and beyond.

She used to say:

• Never say what you can’t do. Figure it out.
• Be a leader, not a follower.
• When you say something, mean it!
• If there’s a will, there’s a way.

Bulia’s Making of a Man is a testament to what is possible, aiming to encourage you—and all moms—to trust in your ability to guide your sons, helping them learn to overcome obstacles and grow into fearless leaders and confident, secure fathers and men of greatness—regardless of whether their father is present.

You, too, will be "moved to success" when hearing about the memories and lessons revealed in this book!
