There comes a time in your life when you have to tell your story instead of others telling it for you. The difference is when you tell your story – it’s your truth because you have lived it. When you hear the name Columbus Short, I’m sure you can think of a headline/scandal (no pun intended) or two. The funniest thing about us humans is that we love to hear/read about a triumph story, but we also love to dwell on people’s mistakes or shortcomings.

This book has been on my TBR list for the longest, and I came across it again after scanning my Audible account this morning. I decided to purchase it once I saw that Columbus Short was doing the narration.

Drama aside, Columbus Short is a multi-talented individual with so many titles to his name. By listening to the narration, I knew that I would feel the raw emotion that could only come from his voice. After listening to the first five minutes of the audiobook, I felt as though Columbus took my hand and said to me, “Let me take you on this journey into the World of Columbus Short.”

Columbus Short gives readers a no-holds-barred recollection of the events of his life that have shaped him into the man he is TODAY! I was wondering if he would discuss one specific incident, but he didn’t. I smiled to myself because I understood why he chose not to. But as the title says, it’s short stories of his life. I’m sure if Columbus Short decided to write about everything in his life – the recording would have been over 48 hours.

Columbus Short is the true definition of never giving up on yourself – no matter how many people have counted you out. I applaud Columbus Short for sharing his story with the masses.
