Pittsburgh, PA – 17 Apr, 2017 – Today, Brian Burley announces immediate release of his long anticipated book, “YNGBLKPGH”, a book which avails a rare opportunity to the future young black generation of Pittsburgh’s locals, nationals, and the world to rewrite their future by learning from real life experiences and success stories of young black professionals like them. The book will be officially launched April 29, 2017.
According to the Author, “The book features over 140 young, black, professionals from doctors to youth football coaches and everyone in between showing the next generations that success is more than possible. The project itself is built off of the idea that exposure can change lives and by providing these young people with enough exposure to what people like them have been able to achieve, that spark can provide the motivation to move fearlessly in the direction of your dreams.”
The book records the submissions of ambassadors comprising their photo, paths and hand written open letters. While their photos captures their real life images, their paths reveal how they have climbed to success and not just who they are or what success they have achieved. In their open letters, the most beneficial piece of this book, the ambassadors give away varieties of useful insights including advice, success tips, and motivation to the next generation.
The 290 page book is a handful of knowledge and inspiration that will inspire our young black people facing various life situations. It will help those who are discouraged find love, those who might be temporarily misguided find guidance and those who are in search of mentorship find inspiration that looks like them.
The books are available for order at the website, http://yngblkpgh.com/products Those interested in supporting and the next generation can also donate copies to young people at the website.
