Former bodyguard of Eminem, Andre Dukes releases book "Street-Wise & Real Talk" to help youth Inbox

Andre Dukes turned a life marked by violence, addiction, and nearly a decade in prison into a powerful message for at-risk youth. Instead of a traditional memoir, Dukes wrote Street-Wise & Real Talk, a fictional, age-appropriate book for kids ages 10–16 that speaks their language without glorifying crime. Now a mentor, motivational speaker, and former bodyguard for high-profile celebrities, Dukes is using his story to help young people change their paths before it’s too late.
