Ajamou Butler, better known as Brotha Heal the Hood (HTH), is a native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. His desire to heal the city is fueled by creating a better place for his son to grow up in. As a young activist, Ajamou is able to relate to the struggle of the youth and speak their language. His passion for people is unparalleled and he uses the power of communication to ignite hope, healing, action, and change! One of his greatest accomplishments in life has been the founding of Heal the Hood MKE in 2012. 

“Destined To Be Me” is a children’s book that combines poetry, confidence building, and relatable content for Black children everywhere. Your child is sure to see images that represent themselves in each page of this book. Each poem was written with the intent to connect with the realities of Black boys/girls and give them an opportunity to tap into the World of poetry and spoken word as well as learn new vocabulary. Reading this book with your child creates a bonding opportunity and gives them an outlet to express their thoughts, ask questions, and ponder about their bright future. Your child will have fun and build skills sets as they memorize the poems and practice reciting them with pride in front of others. Your child will want to pull this book off the shelves again and again and the messages will remain relevant for many years to come.

Pre-Sales available NOW at AjamouButler.Com

Please contact Ajamou directly with any questions at AjamouButler@gmail.com.
