Clinton, MD, July 15, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Brian Freeman, who was raised in the DC area and holds a bachelor’s degree in sociology from Binghamton University and a master’s degree in instructional design and technology from Purdue University Global, has completed his new book, “The PRISON in Glass”: a stirring account of hope that follows the author as he reflects upon his life journey to find himself and break free from the glass prison society had created for him in his mind.
“The heart of my story is about my struggles to play professional basketball in the NBA, and how I’ve found a new purpose in life after my dreams were shattered,” Freeman shares. “How does a Black man accept failure when society has placed him in a prison made of glass, seeing himself only as he imagines others see him, expecting him to conform to predetermined expectations and stereotypes? How does a man who has spent his entire young adult life face the reality that the foundation of his identity has been a facade? Will he succumb to the pressure to live up to extraneous judgements, or will he carve his own path to freedom?”
Published by Hawes & Jenkins Publishing, Brian Freeman’s engaging memoir is a stunning story of self-discovery and redemption, as well as a social commentary about systemic racism, America’s failed educational system, and how society tells Black and Brown children that their success will only be through physicality and not intellectualism. Deeply personal and emotionally candid, Freeman shares his story in the hopes of helping understand that the prison in glass must be shattered for all people to discover their potential and attain true liberation in their lives.
