Thank you so much for "Spiritual Shackles". I can't even begin to explain the feelings that overcame me when reading your book. I was born and raised in Pasadena (Worcester) and my family moved to Altadena Lincoln Ave when I was around 13.
For me, being Black in Pasadena was being raised in neighborhoods where you see us but the minute you step outside of your neighborhood you cease to exist. There was no larger cultural identity or pride with which to align yourself. I was blessed to be homeschooled until I attended high school, but even in learning about African descendants, I never learned about history of descendants in my city. I'm sorry I am rambling so in closing, I thank you profusely for opening the door to a history unknown to me.
I'm overwhelmed. I just read the last page. This was truly a life changing book. It was a such powerful story of our African ancestry. I have a lot of traveling and research to do.
Thank you again.

Greetings Brother Jumal
My name is KaAma and I met you at a gathering @ Sister Lisa's house over a year ago and you gave me a copy of your book...Well I finally read it and enjoyed it so much I had to write and tell you about it..I have also completed a book called Journey to Zion scheduled for release later this year..Still going through the editing process. Just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration to write about my life's journey and the historical information about Pasadena was wonderful..I didn't know all that about Pasadena if I did maybe I would have stayed...LOL!!! I live in Georgia...I will be ordering a few more copies soon for others, they will definitely enjoy this book.
Blessings KaAma

Good Morning Okeyo Jumal,
I decided it was in my best interest to google your name this morning, with amazement I found http://www.spiritualshackles.com/blog/. I have never been so marbled by one man's ability. Usually, I start reading, my ADHD kicks in and I get side tracked but you are a scholar. It is a rarity to discover an author as talented as you, your words are unscriptedly emotionally vivid taken the reader's pupils into colorful scenery on caravas. Let's just say I am speechless. At one point in my life in creative writing class, I wrote as 1/2 as descriptive as you but writer's block has lead me into an unenchantable direction of street lit. My most treasured bookmark is now www.spiritualshackles.com because this statement is so true, "descriptive images that you feel transported right into the middle of the story." My passion is writing and now I have a tanglible goal as a writer... Your writing has reinvigorated little old me, I can just image how others will feel in a similar situation.
Thanks for sharing and I will keep in touch.
