When CoachGlo approached me several years ago with this idea about wanting to write a book, and knowing her story of recovery, I was eager to see her do it. And when the opportunity came to help her publish her memoir, I jumped at the chance. "A Girl From Southern Boulevard" is the unflinching story of a woman who fell victim to vice and has come out on the other side with purpose, passion, and power, all while staying true to her roots in the South Bronx.
