About the Book (Excerpts & Info)

Original Diamond Boy: the Psychology of a Gang Banger by YoYo (aka Le'Taxione) is powerful, deeply troubling, and, ultimately, a story of redemption. When Le'Taxione, at age ten, picked up a .22 revolver that had been dropped during a drug-related shooting, he longed to use the pistol. Finally, in a "dimly lit parking lot" he found his opportunity and shot a man. Instead of sympathy or remorse he experienced a sense of liberation and thus began an addiction to violence that stayed with him throughout the rest of his childhood and much of his adult life.

A narrative of violent and brutal gang life in both the streets and prison, Original Diamond Boy is, paradoxically, also a story of healing. Human connections -- relationships -- are essential for recovery from the trauma caused by violence in the home, on the streets, or resulting from racism and oppression. Le'Taxione was nurtured by the relationships forged with other members of the Diamond Boys, and those relationships made possible his journey toward wholeness. This amazing, unforgettable book illuminates a path toward healing for our children: work to eradicate the violence of gang life, of racism and oppression, but treasure the gang and the relationships between its members. -- Barbara Bennett, Ph.D.,

School Psychologist and Educational Consultant; Co-founder of First Place School (an independent school in Seattle for children who have experienced trauma due to family and/or community violence, homelessness, poverty, racism and oppression); Instructor, "The Psychology of Trauma", a University Behind Bars course at Monroe Correctional Complex.

About the Author

Le'Taxione is a student of the human condition and a specialist in the mentality that causes destructive gang violence. Never denouncing the gang, he now utilizes his own life experience to change the violence prevalent in gang culture in a productive and sustainable way -- "from the inside out"?. Original Diamond Boy is the next in a series of literary pursuits, all focused on the gang lifestyle, mentality and culture and all pointing towards a transformation, experienced by Le'Taxione, and possible for all those who suffer from the destructive mentality evident in today's gangs."
