This web presence is designed with the intentions of embracing the entire Urban Lit Community. We call it Urban Lit; however,  I believe that is a title I designed to embrace people of color and the literature that embraces people of color. It can be lit from the hood, from the suburbs or from rural America. It doesn't even necessarily have to be lit from America. When I conceived the term URBAN LIT many years ago, it was another option outside of the mainstream. Clearly, Urban Lit is new to the world of what is perceived as "literature" and not quite as accepted across the landscape of our lives. And yet, it is the truth and the lies about our culture, how and what we think. How and what we say. How and what we feel.

  I've noticed through the years how writers and their work are somehow always subjected to the opinions and judgments of others. Many times, because of that obstacle, a writer's work may not be supported or read. And to that end, the same writer's opinions, views and projections cannot be acknowledged. Unfortunately, this attitude is one that is hate-based, as opposed to one founded by a "live & let live" attitude. When you live and let live, your thinking is not clouded by bias, condemnation or complaints. When you adopt this way of life, you can still smile and accept the next person for who and what they are; for how they think and feel.

Join in and contribute to the Urban Lit Community. Make it yours as much as I’ve made it my own. You will notice there are a lot of pictures and videos that are related to “Relentless Aaron.” However, I have set the blueprint. Now it’s time for you to fill in the blank space. Tell the world about yourself. Upload your pictures, videos and podcasts as I have. This is MY WORLD. But, it is also YOUR WORLD TOO! So walk the walk with me.
