When actor and author, Daniel Beaty, was growing up in Dayton, he wasn’t fully aware that his father was addicted to heroin, and in and out of jail because of it. That realization came later in Daniel’s childhood, but it didn’t stop him from becoming an award-winning author, actor, and educator.
Beaty returns to Dayton, tonight, February 21, 2014, for a public event to discuss his upcoming motivational memoir, Transforming Pain to Power: Unlock Your Unlimited Potential (Berkley, Penguin-Random House).
In this WYSO Weekend preview, Daniel shares his story about growing up, and his message of personal empowerment.
