Before I Knew Myself: Pieces of My Beginning is a deeply personal and reflective story of growing up in the streets of Port Harcourt in the 1990s. Through vivid memories of family, friendship, struggle, and faith, Destiny Lapez takes readers on a journey through the highs, the quiet moments, and the heavy lows that shaped his early life. From humble beginnings in a small boys' quarters to the warmth of Sunday routines, from battles with asthma to overcoming a severe stutter through music, this book captures the raw, unfiltered reality of a childhood that was far from perfect-but rich with meaning. This is not a story of arrival, but of becoming. A story of growth, resilience, and self-discovery. For anyone who has ever wondered where they belong or who they are becoming, this book is a reminder: you may not be where you want to be yet-but you are somewhere, and that matters.
