Behind every myth is a reality that shatters illusions.

Myths work like magic tricks, disguised as codes for survival on the streets. Russell Lathom exposes this illusion in The 21 Myths of Street Life.

Russell shares his own journey--from childhood abuse to time in prison--woven with the stories of iconic figures from inside and outside the streets. He unpacks the most pervasive ideas to challenge false narratives and reveal the reality of a life spent following the street's rules. From promises of easy wealth to misguided ideals, Russell dismantles the myths that have dangerously influenced decisions and shaped destinies. This is Russell's story, but it's also his research, insights, and reflections on a life spent in crime. Poignant and inspirational, The 21 Myths of Street Life is a wake-up call for those who want more for their communities than what the streets have promised.

Lathom, Russell C.: - Russell C. Lathom spent most of his early life raised in street culture. Despite working jobs and going to college, the streets kept dragging him back. Each return shattered new possibilities and eventually led to years in state and federal prisons. Behind bars, Russell began to intellectually challenge the streets and confronted his addiction to crime. He saw, for the first time, the myths that shaped street culture. Admitting these truths meant tearing himself away from a life he loved so he could step into society with a new identity: writer and published author.
