Description

I AM ALIVE is one of my beloved biographies. The content on each page is authentic. It covers much of my early life; the struggles that I encountered because of homelessness and the consequences I suffered from living on the streets of Jamaica. This book reveals the horrors of my past. From being raped multiple times, trafficked, threatened, ambushed by gunmen, and overcame by schizoaffective disorder, haunted by hallucinations, working on my personal design to defining my destiny in the moments of my decisions. This book has stories of how a black man overcame his challenges. A simple Jamaican becomes victorious over many tribulations. The Atlantic wasn’t crossed overnight, but it happened. I am Sheldon Artwell. I did not give in and I did not give up; I persevered. I faced my struggles and I am alive. Facing up to the numerous mountains in my life was not an easy task; from falling in love with multiple partners, getting engaged, walking away from several relationships to resigning from my job in early 2018 to keep my life. Travelling from city to city, sleeping on rocks, in bushes and abused by almost everyone I came in contact with was the norm. My daily reality was deeply painful. Hunger and thirst stretched my stomach to the point where I had to turn to the garbage bin for survival, tis the reason to say that I was challenged in every way, but I overcame my challenges. And I am alive.
