Hello Emmanuel … this is Fred ... first time call.

Thank you for recently choosing to follow me. I really appreciate that.

I checked out your Medium home page; found this poem; liked the depth of your thinking, and decided to ‘follow’ YOU.

It's a great piece of writing, and more significantly, a clearly lived-experience.

I particularly like your reference to the mother's smack - that's powerful, yet such a simple image.

If you haven’t yet seen my ‘All you need to know about Fred’ article (pinned a-top my home page), I invite you to check it out. It has links to everything you need to know about me and my stories, including a quick index. Hope you like it.

Nice to meet you on Medium Emmanuel. I look forward to reading more of your stories there.
