Spoken not Broken: Healing through Poetry is a collection of poetry touching on themes related to Asian-American identity, mental health, and addictions drawn from both my professional experience working with clients but also my personal struggle with identity, cultural shame, and addictions.I was once shrouded in shame as I struggled to fit into America as a first-generation immigrant. There was the shame of being different as an Asian, the shame of not living up to certain cultural expectations, and the shame of living in secrecy with various addictive tendencies. Feeling more than defeated, I believed I was broken to the core.My healing came through the written and spoken word. I had to speak my truth regardless of the shame or pain it generated in order to free myself from the crippling internal vise of negativity, inadequacy, and fear. May these poems dip into the richness of your soul so the beauty of the real you can also speak its truth.

"This book is a message from autistic people to their parents, friends, teachers, coworkers and doctors showing what life is like on the spectrum. It's also my love letter to autistic people. For too long, we have been forced to navigate a world where all the road signs are written in another language." With a reporter's eye and an insider's perspective, Eric Garcia shows what it's like to be autistic across America. Garcia began writing about autism because he was frustrated by the media's coverage of it; the myths that the disorder is caused by vaccines, the narrow portrayals of autistic people as white men working in Silicon Valley. His own life as an autistic person didn't look anything like that. He is Latino, a graduate of the University of North Carolina, and works as a journalist covering politics in Washington D.C. Garcia realized he needed to put into writing what so many autistic people have been saying for years; autism is a part of their identity, they don't need to be fixed. In We're Not Broken, Garcia uses his own life as a springboard to discuss the social and policy gaps that exist in supporting those on the spectrum. From education to healthcare, he explores how autistic people wrestle with systems that were not built with them in mind. At the same time, he shares the experiences of all types of autistic people, from those with higher support needs, to autistic people of color, to those in the LGBTQ community. In doing so, Garcia gives his community a platform to articulate their own needs, rather than having others speak for them, which has been the standard for far too long.

In this unflinching and inspiring memoir, Jesse Leon tells an extraordinary story of resilience and survival, shining a light on a childhood spent devastated by sex trafficking, street life, and substance abuse. Born to indigenous working-class Mexican immigrants in San Diego in the 1970s, Jesse Leon’s childhood was violently ruptured. A dangerous and harrowing encounter at a local gift shop when he was eleven years old left Jesse with a deadly secret. Hurt, alone, and scared for his life, Jesse numbed his pain by losing himself in the hyper-masculine culture of the streets and wherever else he could find it—in alcohol, drugs, and prostitution. Overlooked by state-sanctioned institutions and systems intended to help victims of abuse, neglected like many other low-income Latinos, Jesse spiraled into cycles of suicide and substance abuse. I’m Not Broken is the heartbreaking and remarkable story of the journey Jesse takes to win back his life, leading him to the steps of Harvard University. From being the lone young person of color in Narcotics Anonymous meetings to coming to terms with his own sexual identity, to becoming an engaged mentor for incarcerated youth, Jesse finds the will to live with the love and support of his family, friends, and mentors. Recounting the extraordinary circumstances of his life, Jesse offers a powerful, raw testament to the possibilities of self-transformation and self-acceptance. Unforgettable, I’m Not Broken is an inspirational portrait of one young man’s indomitable strength and spirit to survive—against all possible odds.

Broke but Not Broken is the true account of a Phoenix Homebuilder who went from a net worth of $46 million to Bankrupt just 18 months later. It is a very small account of the Housing collapse. It is however a big account of a man, a man much like each and every one of us. A man who made it to the big time only to have it all ripped away. The company and Mike Roberts were forced into Bankruptcy. The gritty account of the events surrounding the collapse are well documented here. As Mr. Roberts looked for an out it appeared the only way out was to end it all. In the final moment he rose from the floor and decided to fight on. Broke but not Broken takes you on the ride of a rich Scottsdale home builder to a man near death and staggering bitter defeats. Left penniless and divorced he somehow found the strength to start over and to rebuild and reinvent himself. The writing style of this book is extremely raw and is assured to keep the reader captivated and racing to read on. You will cry and you will cheer, you will believe that there is hope even when death seems like the only option. You will visit places that you have never been before and you will sit in the seat of the Author. You will live the American Dream and you will ask yourself it is a dream that is worth living. Clearly, one of the most critical books ever written for those who wish to know what it is like to be a millionaire only to be thrown to the wolves. It is also the book to read if you want to believe that when death seems so clear there is in fact life and that you can rise again. Broke But Not Broken travels from the arms of defeat to a robust winning attitude. Initially, when survival was the only torch the book soon transforms into a story of victories and the will to be better than ever before. It is filled with many winning philosophies and is designed to help us all rise from defeat to live another day, and not only live another day but to win and to be the very best you can be.
