Twenty years of running a college bound program as well as fifteen plus years of coaching baseball for multiple Chicago baseball leagues provided opportunities to make a difference in influencing young lives. This book shares being a part of the unique journey of many Chicago children as they navigate their way into adulthood while being enabled for greatness. It begins with my personal journey growing up in Chicago and transitions into twenty plus years of Make A Difference Youth Foundation. Johnnie Jones shares inspiration through a sometimes humorous and sometimes sad review of his life and the organization he started to help young people find their way. This is a great read to gain new insights and ignite the flame inside of you. -Katara Patton
