Author John T. Wills

John T. Wills, the publisher of the “The John T. Wills Chronicles”, is an effective communicator, Public Speaker, Educator, and Businessman. I have earned a Master’s Degree in Business Administration and a Bachelors of Art in Business Administration as well. I have been a professor at Sojourner-Douglass College (HBC), Past Board Member of the Bowie State University Foundation, President of JT Wills Consulting, LLC, Past Vice President of the MD/DC Minority Supplier Development Council, one of the hosts of the Black Empowered Men Radio Show, producer of The Literary Book Tree Radio Show, author of “Just a Season”, a Journalist by way the Washington Examiner and as a blogging, supporter of several community organizations, a volunteer and friend to many. Regardless of the worldly titles given, I prefer to be called a man.

I’ve embarked on a journey, with the support of others and hopefully you, to promote literacy through “The Book Tree Literacy Project” that will focus on the importance of literacy as an advocate for children and adults literacy empowerment in every community. This project will be sponsored and supported by the hugely successful BLACK EMPOWERED MEN Radio Show in concert with “The John T. Wills Chronicles”. We invite you to join us and this EMPOWERMENT REVOLUTION!!!

Any accolades attributed to me are the result of the solid foundation provided by a loving grandfather. This great man assertively implanted the concept that knowledge is power, which developed into the understanding that education is the single most important ingredient necessary to neutralize those forces that breed poverty and despair. This philosophy planted the seeds that cultivated a life, which is “Just a Season.”

Just a Season is a luminous story into the life of a man who, in the midst of pain and loss, journeys back in time to reexamine all the important people, circumstances, and intellectual fervor that contributed to the richness of his life. This fictional narrative begins with a grief-stricken father visiting the grave site of his beloved son who was killed in a tragic accident; a moment that he and no other loving parent should ever have to face. As he sadly gazes at his son’s headstone and reads what is inscribed there, the dates 1981 – 2001 bring about an illuminating discovery.
The tiny dash that separates the years of one’s birth and death represents the whole of a person’s life. So if this tiny dash were to tell his life’s story, what would it say? In Just a Season, the dash of this man’s life is revealed and what emerges from the pages of this book is a legacy of true benevolence and grace.
