Help Publish My Journey "From Foster Care to Financial Freedom: My Journey with AI as My Guide"

'Empowering Personal Transformation, Real Estate Investing, and Smart Financial Decisions'

Introduction

As someone who navigated the foster care system and emerged stronger, I'm sharing my story to inspire others who face similar challenges. My book, "From Foster Care to Financial Freedom," isn't just another success story—it's a practical guide and testimony to the power of mentorship, determination, and financial literacy.

Why This Book Matters

The foster care system releases thousands of young adults into the world each year with limited financial knowledge and support. Many struggle with basic financial concepts, career planning, and building generational wealth. This book bridges that gap, offering real-world advice and strategies I've personally used to overcome these challenges.

Hi, I’m Mr. Thurman Malik Robinson, Real Estate Investor (REI)

Founder of Assertively Promoting Philanthropic Services (APPS, LLC). I’m not here to share a polished fairy tale—I’m here with raw honesty about my journey. Growing up in the foster care system, I faced abandonment, abuse, and discrimination. Despite these challenges, I fought every day to rewrite my story and carve out a future of financial freedom and hope. Today, I want to empower foster youth through financial education—because no one should be defined solely by a difficult past.

My Story & Mission

My book, From Foster Care to Financial Freedom: My Journey with AI as My Guide, is already published and available in multiple formats. It’s both an unfiltered memoir and a practical blueprint of real estate investing, financial literacy, and using AI as a powerful tool for change. My story has been featured in Think Realty Magazine, and I’ve been blessed with guidance from my mentor, Lorraine Beato, who showed me how to turn setbacks into opportunities.
