an accomplished writer, speaker, and advocate for personal growth and empowerment. Born and raised in Newark, NJ, and Montgomery, AL, I've always had a passion for storytelling, using analogies to connect messages and using my voice to shed light on important issues. My 20+ years in Hospitality Operations Management and Human Resources recruitment, brings a unique perspective to the topics of relationships, divorce, and personal growth. A U.S. Army Veteran and member of the Brotherhood of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc., Alfred unapologetically speaks with expertise and understanding of the rarely vocalized emotional pain men carry. Having navigated through a divorce as a Black man in America, the combination of my personal experiences and those explained by other wounded men connect with readers and listeners. As a father and an active listener to unspoken or unheard relationship pains, Ive has created a platform dedicated to addressing these topics, offering support and guidance to those navigating emotional challenges from relationship traumas.
