Colon, Tony

I am a native of the streets of Philadelphia. I am the oldest of seven and the grandson of a Bishop. I moved to Jersey at the age of 16 and was skipped a grade in highschool. I later attended Stockton State College but eventually graduated from the streets. I am a hood novelist with a vision of becoming an author that educates about the streets, in todays society. I am a product of the streets, but have overcome the obstacles our youth are being introduced to everyday. My novels are hood, but overall send a positive message that you can turn negativity into a positive.
