Soap That Doesn't Clean Tyrone Garcia

Hello my name is Tyrone and I live in Virginia Beach. I just finished writing my first book, Soap That Doesn't Clean. It talks about my life experience, growing up in New York from the 60s to the 80s. Being Puerto Rican, I thoroughly discuss the political relations between Puerto Rico and the United States, the racism I dealt with in NY, and the drug and alcohol problem that almost brought me to my death. It will be something to experience as I take you from my unruly dealings in the ghettos of the Bronx, to the streets of Europe and Sobriety, To my bitter-sweet adventures of entreupneurship, and the beginnings of my academic career. Watch my life unfold before your very eyes and experience the story of a man that has allowed to put the phrase "if it doesn't kill you it makes you SMARTER" to justice. over 43 years of my life from 67-2012.
