The Author


Bringing an Unconventional Approach to Motivational Books.


Vid Lamonte´ Buggs, Jr. is not one to be put into a box, and his genre-defying writings reflect that. Some think of Vid’s work as motivational books, or books about leadership and personal growth. Others have classified them inspirational multicultural non-fiction or essay/creative non-fiction. They’re all spot on, because Vid’s highly creative books are all of this and much more.


“We are more similar than different. It’s our differences that makes us unique. We are to leave a mark and share our unique talents with the world.”

-Vid Lamonte’ Buggs Jr.
