In this book, Stuart Lawrence talks about what he has learned
from life – the tools that have helped him live positively
and kept him moving forwards when times have been tough.

"We all want to be successful in life and to be remembered
for our achievements – but how can we do that, when the
world can seem so big and sometimes scary?"– Stuart

is Not an Option: You Can Impact the World for Change,
is intended to empower all children irrespective of skin colour
