Around the Way Girls - Paperback

B.L.U.N.T., which stands for Black Lady Under New Terms, was born and raised in the Bronx, and currently resides in Richmond, Virginia.

My life has changed dramatically, it wasn't an easy road, but when I realised I was heading down the wrong road, 'I' had to make the choice to change the direction in which I was heading, and no matter what adversities I went through I kept moving forward. Believe me when I tell you, I wanted to quit many times, it has never been easy, and i've never been handed anything on a silver platter, but just like the quote from Sir Winston Churchill says "if you're going through hell, just keep going", and I did! I now live on the Gold Coast in Australia, I have 4 beautiful children, I live in a beautiful home with my beautiful wife who I met on a ship, I drive a nice car, and have lived in this beautiful country for 15 years, a far cry from the council estates in London (housing commissions) where I grew up! I now perform my hypnosis shows in front of hundreds of thousands of people, on some of the most luxurious cruise ships in the world, I perform in theatres, rsl's, clubs, i've appeared on tv, radio and performed for some of the most recognised corporate companies in the world. I've traveled the length and breadth of Australia, and have probably seen more of Australia than most Australians, performing my shows, running my seminars and treating therapy clients. My hypnosis clinic is becoming busier than ever with an expansion as I write this paragraph, with a client list consisting of not just everyday people, but many tv and radio personalities, millionaires and even billionaires. I now have a training academy where I train everyday people to become professional clinical hypnotists and stage hypnotists. My eldest son and I have a wonderful relationship once again after 7 years of no contact, of which I feel so blessed, i'm so proud of what an incredible young man he's turned out to be, and as uncanny as it is, he's training to become a Lawyer! I'm not trying to impress you when I tell you these things, i'm trying to impress upon you, that "if I can do it, so can you!"
