Queer and Self-Empowerment Author Jamaal Wesley to Exhibit Inspiring Book on Authenticity at San Diego Union-Tribune Festival of Books 2023

At the San Diego Union-Tribune Festival of Books, there are plenty of exhibits with newly published books meant to inspire readers and help those searching for themselves.

And for Jamaal Wesley, that search is exactly what he wants to help with his book “Authentically Authentic: It’s a Journey, Not a Destination.” It will be displayed by the self-publishing and book marketing company at the festival with the hope that its message will continue to encourage more people to be true to themselves.

“Authentically Authentic” is both Wesley’s self-help guide as well as his own brave decision to be vulnerable and tell his life story.

For 15 years, Jamaal worked in insurance despite wanting to pursue more creative passions. But in 2020, he experienced a cancer scare that changed his life and his priorities. Today, he is in the middle of developing his own jewelry line and also hopes to relaunch his life coaching company.

The impact of his 2020 cancer scare really made him realize it was time for him to embrace his own fears, desires, and unconventionalities without judgment. He came to grips with where he was living inauthentically and began consistent work to transform his life to live authentically. In his book “Authentically Authentic,” he provides a roadmap to anyone looking to do the same.

Readers can discover this empowering guide by checking out “Authentically Authentic: It’s a Journey, Not a Destination” at the ReadersMagnet exhibit at the San Diego Union-Tribune Festival of Books. The festival will take place on August 19, 2023, at the University of San Diego, 5998 Alcala Park, San Diego, CA. Get the book on Amazon.

Author Bio
Jamaal is an entrepreneur that is developing a jewelry line called Aheri. The jewelry line is from a queer perspective catering to the themes of inclusivity, self-expression, acceptance and pride. He decided to further his creative passions after a cancer scare in September 2020. Before that, Jamaal spent 15 years working in the insurance industry prioritizing stability and comfort. Little did he know how loudly his heart would speak after his life changing experience in 2020. Since the theme of the jewelry line is rooted in self-expression and staying true to one’s self, Jamaal decided to share his own story of self-discovery with the world. “Authentically Authentic” is his story of transforming imposter syndrome, traditions, and societal pressures which empowered him in embracing his sexuality, forgiving others and living unapologetically. In addition to the jewelry company, Jamaal looks forward to relaunching his life coaching company, Living Enlivened, in the coming months.
