Arshay Cooper does it again. His gift of power and grace are exemplary in his latest book, Let Me Be Real with You. It’s a heartfelt journey filled with personal stories, insightful lessons, and practical guidance that encourages us to craft our own unique narratives. With a gentle yet steadfast hand, Cooper walks alongside us, helping us navigate the winding paths of our lives. He makes a promise to be there in our moments of uncertainty, tackling the complexities together, and igniting the spark within us to reach back and support others when the time is right.” — Vanessa Williams, Singer, Actress, and Author of You Have No Idea
"Arshay Cooper’s new book is a touching and inspiring delight. Chock full of healing messages drawn from his diverse experiences—as a kid growing up on the tough streets of Chicago’s West Side, as a rower and rowing mentor, as a community leader and youth advocate, and as an extraordinarily sensitive and humane human being—Let Me Be Real with You—is a wonderful antidote to the fractured times we are living through." — Daniel James Brown, New York Times Bestselling Author of Boys in the Boat
