Hello, my name is Kijuan Murphy, and the first book I want to propose has a strong meaning, and this is a brief summary that should intrigue your interest. This book starts with me and the time I was the first black person to score a goal for my high school lacrosse team. A few months later, my friend at the time-who was driving-and I got into a car accident; that collision caused me to be ejected from the car and fall into a two-month-and-twenty-eight-day coma. I know that because this accident was on December 6, 2016, and I posted a picture on Instagram the day I regained my consciousness, which was the beginning of March. Once I left the hospital, I went back to school because this was my senior year, and I wanted to graduate with the people I spent my previous four years with. I did that with a traumatic brain injury and with diplopia and continued on to community college, which eventually turned to a regular dorm college where one day, while I was on set for a series on Netflix called The Society (I was in the early episodes-nothing else because the set was on the other side of Massachusetts near Amherst), someone blamed a bag with thirty grams of weed and brass knuckles on me because they found it in a dorm. Mind you, I didn’t have a dorm, nor was any of it mine. None of that belonged to me, but it made sense to them, and they banned me. There are a few more parts to this story, and I plan to write another book after I publish these two and possibly do the movies I have planned.
