Hey y’all. I have never done anything like this before, but in the spirit of Elphaba and Beyoncé Christ Knowles, here I am! I was born to be a writer. I have always gravitated towards stories that featured characters like the people I grew up with, or fantastical realms and dystopian universes. I was a rambunctious child and with lots of creative energy to spare. For years I have been putting off writing because “I didn’t have the time”. Something unlocked in me after watching the creative mastery on display in the film Wicked: Part 1. And the universe has given me an opportunity to enroll in a book writing academy, taught my a 4-time New York Times Best Seller, public speaker and social media wordsmith Luvvie Ajayi-Jones. It is called The Book Academy and their previous roster already has chart topping authors, and I want to become one. The tuition is $3,000 and it would include everything Luvvie has done and taught to drive her books to the top of the charts. I have a sample of my writing on Substack under “Ferdnastyy” and if you follow me on IG, you already know what it’s giving. Normally I would hit up any of my sugar daddies who are still alive and shake their couches. But in truly letting the universe know that I am ready to step into my creative era, I am opening up myself to a bunch of strangers and social media allies and revealing what is truly in my spirit and how you can support me.

What is it that I’m going to write? I am going to write about my adventures as an immigrant boy navigating the New York City public school lunchrooms. The fear, anxiety, excitement, curiosity and friendships made during lunch time. As a donor, you will be the first to know about any updates and be the first to read the complete work. Or a portion of it, cause I want you to buy it! Duh!
