Premise Of DeVon Franklin’s Audio Memoir
The death of Franklin’s father was a significant turning point in the producer’s life. In what has been a largely private affair, DeVon will delve into what would have otherwise been a destructive event had it not been for the women who intervened.
In particular, his mother and five aunts were integral in keeping him and his two brothers strong. In a story of hope combating adversity, DeVon does not hold back on the significant milestones in his life, including marriage, money and much more.
But in and amongst that is a family that has come out more united than ever. On top of that, there are many life lessons, including faith, and hardship, all through the lens of a black man looking at the sacrifices the women of a village had made in raising him.
A Closer Look At DeVon
Dubbed as ‘a different kind of Spiritual Teacher,’ by Oprah Winfrey, DeVon is certainly capable of holding his own amongst the very best. Being a Hollywood producer and best selling author is not enough to do him justice.
