Losing What I Never Had - Uncovering My Authentic Self

Dr. Raphael C. Heaggans is a Special Education Administrator at Prince George’s County Public Schools and Author of several works, including “Diversity and Triumphs of Navigating the Terrain of Academe: International Perspectives” and "The 21st Century Hip-Hop Minstrel Show: Are We Continuing the Blackface Tradition?" He offers a critique of hip hop and shows how it serves as a tool of oppression, perpetuating negative images and messages about Black people. His new book captures the process of forgiving and encourages the readers to walk in the identity in which they have been divinely called. Dr. Heaggans calls “Losing What I Never Had: Uncovering My Authentic Self," his story of courage as it is loosely based on his life as a survivor of sexual abuse from his biological, religious father.
