Debriefing of Markus Burns

The inspiring true story of one man's rise from homelessness to success in the world of TV and movie production...

----------

Having grown up with an absentee single mother and subjected to homelessness, to being shunted from relative to relative and experiencing the murder of a beloved cousin, Markus Burns made his way to Minneapolis. It was here, where, still just a teen, he fathered a child and ran the streets, cheating death not once, but twice along the way. The true story of how this troubled young man became a successful reality TV producer (Real Housewives of Atlanta, Sunday Best, Married at First Sight) is the subject of Markus Burns' heartfelt and moving memoir, The Debriefing of Markus Burns.

With his firsthand experience of being a disenfranchised Black male who successfully left the street life behind him, Markus is now sharing his success story with all who desire to be inspired. His riveting and unforgettable memoir, The Debriefing of Markus Burns, is drawn from his own experiences as a fatherless runaway, teen parent, and high school dropout. In telling his sometimes harrowing, yet, always challenging life story, in which he went from an aimless existence to channeling his energy and determination into creating a better life for himself, Markus offers great insight on the many challenges faced by poor young men of color in America today. Taking on the role of spokesman for those who grew up amid the turmoil and hopelessness of America's inner cities, Markus Burns' tale of triumph is guaranteed to inspire people from all walks of life.
