“Who is the Original Man and What Defines Him?
Those are the questions that become Damiek’s lifelong quest. His mission creates Zig Zag Zig which is the unfiltered, raw storytelling adventure of a Caribbean immigrant coming of age in NYC and Los Angeles during the rebellious 1980s-90s. Pressures of family expectations, athletic dreams and fierce independence were tested by the unforgiving streets to the camouflaged suburbs. The unapologetic influence of the Gods profoundly shapes his character to fearlessly challenge the social norm. The struggle is real, his errors were costly and at times, life’s traumas appeared normal. This author will take readers on a timeline expedition from crack cocaine to Covid-19 with lessons learned in between.”
“Zig Zag Zig is a powerful and riveting read of one man’s journey that will take you on a rollercoaster ride of family, discipline, heartache, lust and transitions. Damiek draws you in and submerges you into his world. He connects you to his feelings and stimulates emotions which you may have buried inside you for years. Zig Zag is a truth serum we all need in our lives.”
