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
"Arshay bares his heart and soul in describing his life’s journey and how the eight principles of wellness allowed him to find happiness and success as an award winning author. I stand in awe of his journey through life and find inspiration in the growth of the man from the boy. His story is a testament that anything is possible if you believe in yourself and follow your dreams. Arshay Cooper is MY inspiration!" — Ron Stallworth, New York Times Bestselling Author of Blackkklansman
