It was once said that “ you never really know someone until you’ve stood in their shoes and walked around in them” well here’s your opportunity.

Justin Alliman, who recently turned 31, has decided to give readers an all access story to how he became the person we all know him as today. In his first official book he takes us through an introduction of his childhood riddled with trauma all the way to the start of his NBA Career. It’s a story based on adversity using his real life experiences to paint the picture and ultimately deliver positive messages of overcoming all obstacles we are faced with.

It was an event for the ages. An excellent meet and great set up by RYU. There were tears, love and laughter all shared together with a sell out crowd inside the venue. The night started off with a promotional short film created and directed by @mr.KOA followed by champagne. As the night carried on there were chapter exerts read and a Q& A period for deeper reflection on what inspired the author.

Before My Glory is the first of a three part series according to Alliman. The books will all be based on different stages in his life that helped to shape his life. While there is no official launch date or title for the other two books, Before My Glory was made available December 6th 2019 for digital pre order on amazon.ca If you’re into reading physical books you could have picked up the paperback version at the official book launch on December 10th 2019 at RYU Queen Street West, Toronto. The paperback version is said to have unseen extras that the digital version doesn’t include.
