From the outside looking in, Deshaun Nelson is a 32-year-old black man, plagued with a drug addiction, bad attitude, lack of accountability, and extreme anger issues. His short fuse and narcissistic ways are red flags for anyone he encounters. But, beyond the surface, lies a much deeper problem. A problem that black men in America have hidden from for decades. 

At his lowest point, Deshaun finds himself in a situation that could land him years behind bars. His only chance of leniency comes in the form of a black, court-appointed therapist, Dr. Julissa Bishop. As Dr. Bishop unravels layers of his murky past, can she get Deshaun to trace the origins of his childhood trauma head on? 

Deshaun’s Road to Redemption is a powerful testament to the mental struggles of black, inner-city men throughout America. This story shines light on the unhealthy ways black men have been taught to internalize their emotions, resulting into lost souls looking for solutions in all the wrong places
