Every time I speak with Dr. Mike, I have a blast talking to him. His sense of humor is funny to me. I told Dr. Mike, he should try stand-up comedy, but he didn't agree. His stories are funny and amazing. I totally respect him and truly adore him. I met Dr. Mike, when I went to Baltimore, Maryland, to accept my award for the Inspirational Media Award. Thanks to "And We Thought" Ladies - Jade and Wilnona, I would not have met Dr. Mike, if it wasn't for them, by the way, the ladies were and still are amazing, and their event was perfect. I interviewed Dr. Michael Deeze on July 14, 2023, and like always, I enjoyed it. I was excited to hear that his new novel will be coming out in September 2023, and he wrote it with his beautiful daughter. Congratulations to them. MICHEAL DEEZE was a child in the notorious Maplewood Commons housing projects of inner-city Chicago, growing up hard and fast. Surrounded by crime and violence, his family struggled to just hold their own while trying to escape their own poverty.
