About the book

It all started when…

Terry kept hearing those famous words “you should write a book”. Never taking those words seriously, he sat one day to write in a journal only to realize he might actually have something profound and important to say. Doubt and questions arose - how to start, who would listen, and what to say. A few years later that pen and paper with a tremendous amount of heart and passion has led to a book.

Letters to a Gay Black Boy takes an in-depth look into the development of Terry DeWayne Dyer and brings it to life. From the first to the last letter, he shares his journey with the world. The struggle with finding ourselves can be daunting and challenging. He gives us an authentic, raw, and emotional look into his life. Motivated by homosexuality, race, family, and love, his first book provides an inspiring conversation with our community.
