WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING


“Our conversation [for Super Soul Sunday] was one of the best I’ve ever had—not just in my career, but in my life.”

OPRAH WINFREY, O MAGAZINE

“[Shaka] had been the CEO of a prison gang, a tough organization to manage. He displayed all the skills this book hopes to impart: he shaped culture, recognized its flaws, then transformed it into something better.”

BEN HOROWITZ, CO-FOUNDER OF ANDREESSEN HOROWITZ

“Senghor’s fearless self-reflection serves as a cautionary tale for the young and a guidebook for anyone seeking atonement. His lessons about owning your failures and taking accountability resonate in every walk of life, from the streets to the boardroom.”

MELLODY HOBSON, PRESIDENT OF ARIEL INVESTMENTS

“Shaka Senghor is a once-in-a-generation leader. Writing My Wrongs is already taking its place alongside the memoirs of Malcolm X and George Jackson as must-read literature.”

VAN JONES, BEST-SELLING AUTHOR & CNN CONTRIBUTOR
