I would like to thank everyone who voted for me. I made the list of The Top 100 Urban Authors of 2017. Congratulations to all the talented authors who made the list, and a salute to those who didn't. We are all talented and work hard to come up with stories that entertain and educate. 1/3/2018 02:14:06 pm

As a black man it's an honor to be nominated and noticed for working in the literary world-I'm so proud to know there is a group of men and woman looking to leave a legacy of educational and entertaining work for generations to come, and an organization such as Ubawa that uplifts, honors, recognize, and brings awareness to this forgotten craft, Thank You UBAWA, Sincerely, Charles 'Storytellah' Burgess
