With a new foreword, a new epilogue, and illustrations from the Mi Barrio comic book version, this new release of From the Barrio to the Board Room shares Robert Renteria's journey from East L.A. and gang and drug life to becoming VP of a publicly traded company, owner of his own businesses and now his work as a civic leader, empowering our nation's youth to stay in school, out of gangs and off drugs.

In 1912, before Arizona had achieved statehood, James Nobles and his wife Missouri Johnson Nobles, seeking to escape the racial mistreatment of Louisiana and Mississippi, moved to Tucson Arizona. But segregation was also the norm in Tucson, and so African Americans (Negores) and Hispanics (Mexicans) were relegated to live in certain areas of town called "Barrios." Laura Mae Nobles was born on June 29, 1921, in Barrio Anita. This is the story of her journey from those humble beginnings, through the years of segregation and discrimination, to the emergence of a nationally recognized and acclaimed educator, leader, entrepreneur, philanthropist, mentor, and faithful servant. Take the journey of her 94 years as she chronicles her life in these pages and leaves her legacy as an example of a purpose driven life. And to God be the glory!

Making things right was drug-lord-turned-contractor/minister Harold Brandon's new purpose. But he soon finds out that changing sides comes at a steep price. Harold's Harley roars across asphalt and dirt toward a meeting with DOJ agents and a few informants. It's been eight years since he decided to do the right thing and take on the cartel he once served, and five since he became one of the Department of Justice's most prized undercover operatives. While he's good at what he does, Harold still teeters between love and hate for his job -- for each assignment draws him closer to the life he now despises. And yet, even when every mission feels like his last, Harold can't bring himself to turn his back on his double life. May it be for adventure or simply for retaliation, he doesn't quite know. What he is sure of, however, is that he has a yearning to make things right. But, as soon as Harold starts a new mission, sinister forces connive against him and seek to teach him a lesson. How they were going to go about it, however, remains to be seen.
