About the Author
Kenneth Whitfield Jr.’s Roar was inspired by his father, Kenneth D. Whitfield Sr. The elder Whitfield’s family faced poverty, discrimination, and other challenges. Despite these hardships, his parents taught all of their children that through faith, commitment, and determination, they could each earn a fighting chance at achieving their dreams. The author grew up seeing his parents work hard while finishing college degrees and raising children, and he shares those ethics with his children.
