I Am Royalty is a series of biographical anthologies that are compiled to serve as bridges throughout many different communities. The purposes of these bridges are to close gaps that are left in our communities and create productive routes for the people live within them.
Over 30 Black/African-American Men and Women have come together to bring Volume I of I Am Royalty to life, but we have over 30 more Black/African-American Men and Women that have shown the same form of common-unity to create Volume II which will immediately follow the release of Volume I.
Volume I of I Am Royalty includes the stories of Mikal El-Amin, Aleta Williams, Toni Odom, Andrionna L. Williams-Campbell, Frank Pete, Angela Murphy, Angela Thomas, Pasha Golliday, Alan Gates, Vanessa Richardson, Winter Giovanni, Sherryl Hooks, Jonathan Burkett, Yolanda Zellous, Ava Ross, Renda Rose, Cleous Young, Diane Latiker, Shani Greene-Dowdell, Ayani Meli, William Jackson, Jacqueline Amos, Pam Osbey, Kezia Davis, Garry Lawrence, Lolita Buck, Nicole Shelton, Sharlisse Rashied, Glenn Grace, Kanday Reign, Katrina Lola- Gurl, April L. Johnson, Deondriea Cantrice, Donald Payne, Carolyn Mattocks, Nita Dawson, Adrienna Turner, & Emmanuel Brown.
Our mission is to take these stories into places that need positive light and spread these lights into some of darkest areas. We will share our stories throughout schools, churches, community groups, and throughout the streets to begin recruiting our youth for productive activities.
We have collaborated with Black/African-American Men and Women that represent different backgrounds, upbringings, fields of business, and options (for the future) that can be followed.

This is not only a book, but also a MOVEMENT - Katrina Gurl "The Balcony View Books"
I am so very happy and proud to be a part of this first addition! This is simply the beginning of something that will become greater than us and MORE than we'd ever imagine it could ever be. This book is a brotherhood, a sisterhood, hope, dreams, light at the end of the tunnel and confidence all rolled in one. This book is evidence of the resilience of OUR PEOPLE! This book shows that WE can accomplish ANYTHING if we put our minds to it. This book shows that working together is the key to seeing real growth! May God bless Emmanuel Brown for taking a leap of faith...for US!
