The SCREAM is out!
It’s been such a long time coming, but it was worth the wait. There’s nothing that feel better than the feeling that comes after you work hard on a dream and it finally comes to reality.
Except maybe the feeling that comes from knowing all of the pain of your past is somehow now being used for good. I love that!
I’m really looking forward to getting the seminars off the ground. We’re putting together the SCREAM seminars, we are going to address many topics that leaders are not often comfortable addressing, sexual abuse, sex addiction, pornography, fatherless-ness, suicide and the effects of staying silent about all of it. Looking forward to that!
I’m also looking forward to the many responses from those that read the book. I’m a little nervous but I really want to hear what you have to say. So here we go; thanks for joining me on this journey…

Minister Kwesi, this book is going to speak volumes to the lives of our young people and adults alike. This book will help our kids open up more. Your openness is going to tear down strongholds like never before. I am so excited for the great things God is doing and continuing to do in your life. I started reading already. TO GOD BE THE GLORY for the realness and the Freedom you’re experiencing with your youth of today. Stay strong in the Lord and know that He will keep you as He has in the past. Just keep putting Him first. SCREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God Bless you and your family as you grow more in Him.

Thanks Terri,
SCREAM is very personal and there have been moments of wondering if I should be transparent like that. In those moments, I think of others first. I wish that someone was transparent with me, and it’s the thing I love about the bible. You get to see Saul and his messed up life before he becomes Paul, I love that!!

You know how I feel about all of this. I’m so proud of you! Even though I helped with the book, I haven’t gotten tired of reading it.
As I’ve told you, I had no idea all that was in you when we started this journey. You continue to amaze me all the time.
This is only the beginning.

I read this book and the release to know of your freedom is awesome. To be so transperant and free to will truly touch many lives.
I am believing God for the a great release in the Body of Christ from this book. Those who are in bondage. I was in bondage and condemned but through release in my testimony years ago, I wasmade free. There is no condemnation for them that are in Christ Jesus.
For that I have been made whole and am contantly seeking Jesus in the life that I live daily. Many have read your book and want to pass it on themeselves says a lot for what God is doing.
This book is not about you but about the man who gets the Glory of of it all, WOW, what a powerful lesson we all must learn, we go through things in our life but yet, we find later that God was apart of the plan of getting his glory out of it. I thank you and Min. Tania, you will be truly missed.
Your sister and friend in Christ. T

Minister Kwesi of all the books that I have bought, christians books that is, this was the best book of all. I finished this book in about a day or two. My eyes have never been so open, and God has truly used you to open the eyes of many to the truth which will set us free. God will use this book tremendously.
Jasmine and Keyante have always said that you were very open and candid and transparent. Thank you for that, it is so true that we can be so religious was our holier than thow selves and yet be carrying around a lot false stuff.
Truth is definitely what we need! no holds bARRED!
be blessed!

@ Demetria, Thanks for the love. I prayer that you indeed keep your freedom! It’s about time that the Church lives free and tells the truth no holds barred. Ye-ah!

Kwesi,
I praise the God that is holding me down, all glory to his name
for bringing you through, you are a profoundly amazing, awesome man of God, I thank God for your scream and being obedient like Joshua, being strong and of good courage which will set other captives free.
Continue to allow our God to work in and through you.

Kwesi,
I took my time and read your book, and I felt the Spirit of the Lord all the time I was reading. It took someone going through what you had, with the mind of Christ and the spirit in control, to want to share this, so that others could find a complete life, if they turn it all over to the Lord. May God’s many blessings be with you and your family and your Ministry. I look forward to reading more of your work.
Love and Prayers, Ella Seibert.

Kwesi, you have traveled the life that so many people are living now, when you opened up your life, and Jesus Christ gave you the new birth, forgiving you of all your sins. “The gift of minister” God. who forgiveth all thy diseases : who healeth all thy diseses, who redeemeth thy life from destruction: who crowneth thee with loving kindness and tender mercies. Psalm 103, 3 and 4.
Kwesi never let yourself be troubled by your past. God has given you a new life, Faith, Hope and Peace. An outgoing person, leading people to Christ, you are filled with the Holy Spirit, directing the ministry to help others see the light. Praise God for you, continue your writing, delivering the word of God , preach anywhere you can on the Streets in Jail Houses, lift up your God given voice to all man kind. Any church would be forever blessed to have you visit and preach for them.You have my prayers and Gods wonderful blessings. Continue your work as an artist and minister. I have just read your book “Scream” it is a very moving story. We are also a friend of Jay’s she is the one that gave us the book. Love and Prayers,
Ella and Al Seibert

Hey Mr Kwesi. Your book “Scream” has introduced me to “the real”. What I mean about “the real” is, you know how before you could scream how just about everyone around walked around like they were better then you; like their s*** didn’t stink. That no matter How one dresses or carry themselves, there is always something in their lifes that still troubles them until they decide to scream. Here is a poem on one of my many “Screams”:
The Anti-Parents
In the bible it speaks that “Thou shall honor thy mother and thy father” but, how can one honor the fact that his mother and father are in their second childhood; simple minded.
A father that’s caught up in the hood because he quit his job
and a mother who abandon her son because life got too hard.
Disregarding the fact that I was still a minor but now I am at that age and I still don’t understand.
Tell me, how is a boy suppose to be a man when he isn’t getting feed from neither of his parents hands.
People make it seem that I am suppose to understand neglect because I only have one mami and one papi but no one bothers to think that thou’s mami and papi are not fit to be parents.
My inheritance was nothing but ignorance and the potential to fail;
The mentality of a minor and the unjust acts to put me in jail.
Man I need to bail.
Maybe my life would be better if I was put up for an adoption, just an option.
Because they would appreciate me much more.
Love me with open arms instead of bombs.
I am the twin tower and my parents are terrorist from Iran;
Rebels against their own son,
Rebels against me being a man.
How should I feel when I am condemned by the x and y that made me.
Made me.
Made me to believe that hate is normal.
Formal is how I speak to everyone else,
f*** them.
Sometimes I feel like the roots to this tree is not because of them
but because my other family and friends that
Have love for me,
Cared for me,
Instead of breaking me down faithfully.
A seed that has grown to a 20 year old, 6′3″,180lb, soulful black tree that have plans to be what his parents where not to him.
Playfully my internal feud between my heart and mind will not last forever.
I don’t want it to be a distraction when it is my chance to become a parent.
I don’t want my hate from my parents to be transparent,
transferring my ignorance.
I want my offspring to see that love is the best gift that God has gave to life
instead of seeing Satan as the creator of all of this hate and animosity.
I want my kids to be in the state-of-mind that families are ok,
because in today’s ever-spreading-problems society, families are no way.
Normally it is the urban fathers who are weak and narrow minded;
Blind to see that no matter the situation, I am going to provide for my family,”theoretically speaking”.
But in todays “urban world” on the front page, the urban mothers are just as bad as the urban fathers and urban is what they will remain.
Because of one night of ecstasy, I have to suffer,
Because of the urge to cum, I have to suffer,
And because they were not ready, I HAVE TO SUFFER?
No, we have to suffer
Because when it comes to sex, most individual don’t think, they just do the do.
Even if love is involved,
Most won’t blink twice when it comes to some wet pussy and some hard dick.
Its all about stickin’ and gettin’ the dick in.
I am guessing that that was the sedative drug that my biological parents was on because even after I was born, they are still sleep.
They put themselves deep in a trance so that they won’t have to expound on their unethical decisions.
And still I have visions of them waking up and calling out for me in my dreams and only in my dreams and that is were it will remain, in my dreams because it will never happen.
So I take that dream and I let it power my esteem so that I can be the parent that my parents were not to me.
Bless my children with a open mind.
Have them coming out the womb with opinions. Extensions from what I have to say. My children are going to be like my brand new day.
I treat my brand new day like its my last day. Love pouring out in my attempts to make my brand new days in to better days, and my better days into beautiful day.
Resilient I am but still it hurts.
What’s worst is that neither of them will apologize for the damage that they have done to me because they are stubborn.
They are more stubborn then the nappy roots on there neck.
And it goes back to my nappy roots that it is a proven fact that this is how it is suppose to be.
But as you can see, I don’t have nappy roots,
So I salute me because I am not going to be the parent that my anti parents was to me.
Trust and Believe. Your Man~DDG

@ Derrick,
Man, wow! Thanks for sharing yourself like that, thanks for screaming back at me. I remember feeling like me absent father really set me up for failure. It took me years to realize that as long as I refused to forgive him and let him go, he was still in control… To regain control of your life, you must forgive, you must forgive.
