SHIFT! is more than a book — it’s a roadmap and a source of strength for young teens working to understand who they are and who they’re becoming. Drawing from his own journey, New York raised entrepreneur Edward Foxworth III offers honest guidance, real stories, and practical wisdom young African American boys can use immediately.

Each chapter tackles identity, self-worth, responsibility, emotional resilience, and purpose — helping readers silence fear, build confidence, form meaningful connections, and stay focused despite life’s challenges.

At its core, SHIFT! is a powerful message of hope and reminds readers: You are seen. You are capable. Your story is still being written.

Perfect for Schools, Youth Development programs, Mentoring Groups, Juvenile Justice centers, and Individual Reading, SHIFT! equips young men with the tools to grow, lead, and pursue greatness. It is Foxworth’s heartfelt commitment to the next generation — a reminder that no matter where or when you start, you can still rise.
