He is passionate about leadership development, values, training, and the transformation of young individuals into adults.
All Men Are Created…An American Story is primarily about the trials and tribulations of characters of color as they transitioned from a lifetime of slavery to men, and finally to leaders.
Chris seeks to use his book as a platform to promote what he calls the “American Way of Life” which is,
The American Way of life is individualistic, dynamic, and pragmatic. It affirms the supreme value and dignity of the individual and the greater good of all; it stresses incessant activity, social harmony, and lifelong mental growth on his part, for he is never to rest but is always to be striving to “get ahead”; it defines an ethic of self-reliance, merit, and character, and judges by achievement: “deeds, not creeds” are what count. The “American Way of Life” is humanitarian, neighborly, “forward-looking”, and optimistic.
Chris believes “Americans” are better and stronger than the current derisive environment.
