V6EP1 Author and Poet Augustus Vaughn Talks About His Spiritual Path And Connection to God
Manage episode 299163902 series 2658910
Augustus Vaughn was born in Watts, California, to Los Angeles native parents, in the midst of the 1992 Watts Riots. His concerned parents sent him to live with his uncle in Rome for a time, believing that he would be safer there. He returned to America in 2003. For seven years he taught poetry and spirituality to fellow students and students of neighboring schools in the Los Angeles area.
Months before his 18th birthday, he moved to Broken Arrow, Oklahoma to attend a Bible School in hopes of becoming a minister to accelerate his work, but "someone" had different plans for him. Instead of starting a ministry behind the pulpit, Augustus would visit people in need of assistance and did what he could to help (mostly advice) As time went by, Augustus started to notice the results people gained, so this inspired Augustus to write once more.
Drawn back to the sunny State of California he began to do charity work and discovered what issues needed close attention. Eventually, he realized that these issues were not just in his area, but nationwide, so decided to write his first book, "The Bad Boy".
Now, He runs an organization based on dealing with common issues through literature, featured on well-renowned book sites like Barnes & Noble's, Amazon, Audible, iTunes, etc. and has given full access to a free library on his own site, that he claims will soon be in the thousands. One may not be superstitious, but considering that Augustus was born on the same day that Caesar Augustus died (August 19) this might be the continuation of a great Empire.
