About this listen

The Price of Being Black is not just a book — it's a real-life chronicle of injustice, survival, and unstoppable spirit. Written by a man who has lived through systemic racism, wrongful accusations, and a legal system designed to break him, this book is a bold testimony of truth. From courtroom battles to personal betrayals, the author reveals what it's like to be both Latino and Black in America — misunderstood by your own people and feared by others. Through moments of heartbreak, resilience, spiritual awakening, and revelation, he invites listeners into a world few dare to explore. More than a memoir, this is a mirror to society and a call to awaken. It's raw, unfiltered, and unforgettable. This is the price of being Black — and the value of refusing to stay silent.
