Book Description
A man born and raised in the, “upper-left”, United States of America… The son of immigrants and the byproduct of 1990s Seattle culture. Moved away to the sunny state of California. However, later returned home. And once he returned, life felt ‘different’... Or, was it me? – Patrick Okocha II A collection of short stories and exploratory essays; writer Patrick Okocha II examines several topics and themes pertaining to individual self and collective involvement. Such as: identity, professional development, personal growth, upward mobility, social consciousness, community investment, educational attainment, commitment and passion to craft. Sacrifice & familial relations, in-pursuit of greatness. And, more. In StandPat’s FreeSense: An Anthology of Sh*t I WROTE., writer Patrick Okocha II lays claim to the notion that some of the most truly notable & influential people are those who many have not yet heard of... Because they are occupied with building a legacy. Each essay in FreeSense represents a reflective piece of work, written from the perspective of a young man navigating the social confines of, “professional America”. From a locale and region that was relatively obscure during the 1990s, to one that later became bustling & thriving. One that has produced several notable, key influential, professional industry leaders… Of-which, writer Patrick Okocha II, has shared many of the same physical spaces with. So, how did Pat get into those rooms? Each essay, will place you into the social consciousness of a young man on a quest for excellence, while maintaining a firm understanding of self. And, each piece-of-work will walk you into the mental psyche of an individual that has seen success while paying dues along the route. Through this anthology of work, readers will discover that along the path towards greatness, is little space to “market” one’s self. Because greatness requires great commitment, passion, dedication and, sacrifice. And, this can result in not being recognized by masses, but rather appreciated by the collective. FreeSense, is not a prescriptive narrative. Patrick does not provide direction but rather, offers greater perspective, insight and some advice through his self-reflection. As a self-described “Creative-Intellectual”, Patrick Okocha II has been deeply rooted and entrenched in his hometown of Seattle, WA. “… Growing up at a time where everyone wore flannels and ripped jeans. And, then moving away for some years to later come back and everyone is now wearing tech stuff, was a culture shock for me.” With over a decade-plus writing experience, Patrick is excited for his author debut with StandPat’s FreeSense: An Anthology of Sh*t I WROTE. StandPat looks forward to continuing a new wave of black literature and consciousness.
