About the Author

Embracing the Journey: A Story of Resilience and Creative Drive

My name is Thomas Ford. My life as a biracial male in a pro-Black America, has been a series of challenges that I've faced head-on, refusing to be defeated. From the very beginning, I've learned through countless failures and successes that each endeavor brings valuable lessons, essential for achieving success.

I started my career as a Busboy at Shoney's on Mountain Industrial Parkway in Stone Mountain, GA, where my dedication quickly led me from busboy to cook and eventually server. Over the years, I held various jobs—from Burger King and Krystal's to Yellow Freight and Wendy's—gaining diverse experiences that shaped my work ethic and determination.
