Author and scholar Dr. Lathardus Goggins II unveils his latest work, "Bringing the Light into a New Day: African-centered Rites of Passage - 25th Anniversary Edition,” an insightful reflective exploration of African-centered rites of passage. This highly anticipated book delves into the principles and components of the transformative process, guiding readers toward a deeper understanding of their cultural heritage, rituals, and the path to personal growth.

By delving into the essence of African-centered rites of passage, this guide empowers individuals to become active participants in creating and managing their own "light" - a metaphor for opportunity, hope, and wisdom.
Drawing inspiration from the concept of sankofa, the author emphasizes the importance of reflecting on the past, present, and future to identify and implement effective solutions. "Bringing the Light into a New Day" encourages readers to examine their heritage, drawing upon the wisdom of previous generations to shape a more vibrant and prosperous future.
The book emphasizes the critical role that African-centered rites of passage play in the African-American community. By bringing forth the light - the essence of their heritage - families and communities can empower the younger generation to recognize their unique genius and potential. Through these transformative rituals, African Americans can reclaim their voice, ensuring their interpretations and aspirations are not overshadowed by external influences.
Dr. Lathardus Goggins II, a leading authority on African-centered rites of passage, has dedicated years of research and experience to bring forth this enlightening work. By offering profound insights and practical guidance, he inspires readers to embrace their heritage and embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery.
