CHARLAMAGNE THA GOD
Co-host of Power 105.1’s “The Breakfast Club”
Charlamagne Tha God shares his unlikely success
story and how embracing his truth was necessary
to finding his happiness. In Charlamagne’s often
controversial, and always brutally honest tone, he
takes readers back to the beginning of his journey
in the small town of Moncks Corner, South Carolina.
He shares how he turned a troubled childhood and young adulthood around
when he started owning his mistakes and fighting for his dreams. Through
a combination of his personal story with life advice, Charlamagne hopes this
book will give others the confidence to be their
best selves.
