Poet and Motivational Speaker Announces Sophomore Book Release

(Los Angeles, California) – Spoken word artist and motivational speaker, Lamonte Faison, announces the release of his second book, Unveiling the Mask of the Pretender. This is an introspective piece in which the author turns the mirror on himself, in order to reveal the secrets of what he refers to as “the pretender”.

He maintains that everyone knows this person, and some readers might even be this person. Faison sounds an alarm to all who will listen, alerting them to the unscrupulous ways and unethical practices of the pretender, in hopes that his readers will no longer be wounded, damaged, devastated, or disillusioned by his or her actions.

He admits to having worn a mask in order to advance his own interests, and comes clean about his predatory behavior. Faison’s goal is to blow the cover off of the pretenders among us, thus freeing their unsuspecting potential prey to date, trust and love wisely and productively.

Faison hopes that his candor will be a first step in helping to heal or prevent wounds like the ones that he has created in his past. He also wishes to shine a light on the misguided ways of pretenders who may read his book. It is his prayer that they will see the errors of their ways and make a change in their personal conduct.

Faison’s message is one of personal growth and responsibility. It is his belief that growth is a choice and responsibility is a lifestyle. In his public speaking, he focuses on these themes, illustrating them with personal experiences from his own life. He contends that personal true fulfillment can only be achieved when one assumes responsibility for his own actions, progress and choices.

Unveiling the Mask of the Pretender is Faison’s second book. This book, along with his first book, The Teenager’s Guide to Making Excellent Decisions, is available on-line at www.lfaison.com.
