Following the success of his first book, Malcolm has continued to write and inspire others. His passion . . . to help others fall in love with their lives just he did. Whether teaching his students, serving in the community, being a great dad and co-parenting, Malcolm strives to make a positive impact no matter how big or small. He acknowledges that fate selected him to confront some of its most formidable challenges and takes greater pride in having surmounted these obstacles to empower others in overcoming their own.
