From the Block to Big Dreams
Keisha and Malik have been inseparable since they were kids, growing up together in the same tough neighborhood where making it out takes more than just a dream-it takes hard work, determination, and sacrifice. Keisha, a straight-A student with big plans to become a lawyer, has her sights set on Howard University. Malik, the star athlete with NFL dreams, is heading to USC on a full football scholarship. For years, they've been each other's ride-or-die, the couple everyone knew would make it, no matter what.
But when college sends them to opposite coasts, the reality of long-distance love threatens to tear them apart. With new friends, new experiences, and the pressures of building their futures, Keisha and Malik struggle to stay connected across thousands of miles. They promised to make it work, but as time passes, both begin to wonder if love is enough to hold them together when everything else is pulling them apart.
Years later, after life has thrown its share of challenges and curveballs, Keisha and Malik find themselves back in the same place where it all began. The question is, can they find their way back to each other after everything has changed, or will the dreams they chased be the thing that keeps them apart?
In this urban love story, written in the raw, authentic language of their world, From the Block to Big Dreams explores the highs and lows of young love, the struggles of growing up and apart, and the choices that define who we are and who we're meant to be.
