20 NOV 2024 · ABOUT TITUS O'NEIL AND WRESTLING WITH FATHERHOOD: My Championship Journey to My Greatest Title: Dad
From the moment Titus O'Neil laid eyes on his first son nearly 20 years ago, he has considered fatherhood his greatest accolade. Neither his decorated college football career, nor a WWE Tag Team Championship, nor his staggering achievements in community service could compare. Having grown up fatherless, O'Neil strived to raise his children in not just his own image but into something greater. Learning on the fly how to raise two young boys, and later adopting a teenage daughter, O'Neil soon realized that he, like any parent, is far from perfect. Now, as his three children - Titus, T.J., and Leah - become thriving adults, O'Neil shares the details of his humbling successes and failures in parenting so that others may learn from his experiences. Wrestling with Fatherhood tackles important issues in relatable terms and is loaded with stories and guidance for fathers from all walks of life. No matter the topic, from encouraging emotional intelligence to handling difficult conversations to simply expressing love and affection, you will find anecdotes and advice to enrich the lives of your children and your family's journey together.
WWE BIO
With a giant heart to match his titanic frame, Titus O'Neil is among the most compassionate and hard-working Superstars in all of WWE. A former WWE Tag Team Champion and the first-ever 24/7 Champion, O'Neil has flattened many a WWE Superstar since emerging in NXT in 2010, and he brings that same determination to his many charity commitments outside the ring. His passion for community and uplifting others inspired him to write his first book, "There's No Such Thing as a Bad Kid: How I Went from Stereotype to Prototype" in 2019. In addition to being a force in and of himself, this former football player for the University of Florida and the Jacksonville Jaguars knows a thing or two about teamwork. In addition to scoring championship gold alongside Darren Young as The Prime Time Players, Titus was the mastermind behind Titus Worldwide, memorably joining forces with Akira Tozawa, Apollo Crews and Dana Brooke. A hell of a competitor and a hell of a humanitarian, O'Neil aims to continue to dominate in the ring and inspire others.
ABOUT TITUS O"NEIL
WWE Global Ambassador Titus O'Neil (born Thaddeus Bullard) is a father, philanthropist, and champion of good. Raised in poverty, O'Neil overcame a troubled childhood with help from a caring adult. Today, the Tampa, FL, native lives a life of service, empowering individuals, families, and communities across the world.

JEMELE HILL BIO An Emmy Award winning journalist, Jemele Hill is the Co-founder of Lodge Freeway Media and a contributing writer for The Atlantic. On October 25, 2022, Henry Holt and Company published Hill's memoir, UPHILL: A Memoir. In this character-rich, unapologetically provocative memoir, Hill reveals her tumultuous childhood, complicated family dynamics, and her life-saving journey into journalism. Hill's 20-plus year journalism career has included stops at the biggest sports media network and several reputable newspapers. She originally joined ESPN in 2006 as a national columnist for espn.com. Her profile gradually rose as she began to make appearances on television, including SportsCenter, First Take, Around the Horn, The Sports Reporters and Outside the Lines. She also spent a season as a sideline reporter for ESPN college football games. Her foray into daily television began in 2013, when her and co-host Michael Smith began the daily, sports discussion show, His & Hers, which sprang from their popular podcast of the same name. In February 2017, Hill and Smith co-anchored the 6 p.m., SportsCenter, which debuted as a more personality-driven approach to the traditional SportsCenter. After her stint as SportsCenter host, Hill was a senior columnist for The Undefeated, ESPN's sub-site that focuses on the intersection of sports, race, culture and politics. In addition to breaking ground as a podcaster, Hill continued her celebrated television broadcasting career. In 2020, Hill and her longtime friend, former ESPN anchor Cari Champion, launched a weekly, late-night show on Vice Network called Cari & Jemele: Won't Stick to Sports. The show covered politics, sports, news, current events, and pop culture. Hill is also stretching her muscles behind the camera. She is executive producer of former NFL quarterback and civil rights activist Colin Kaepernick's documentary, which will air on ESPN and is directed by legendary filmmaker Spike Lee. She also is currently developing a comedy series with acclaimed actress Gabrielle Union.
Uphill: A Memoir
https://a.co/d/7qhPXO3
One of Oprah Daily's Best Fall Nonfiction Books of 2022
An empowering, unabashedly bold memoir by the Atlantic journalist and former ESPN SportsCenter coanchor about overcoming a legacy of pain and forging a new path, no matter how uphill life’s battles might be.
Jemele Hill’s world came crashing down when she called President Trump a “white supremacist”; the White House wanted her fired from ESPN, and she was deluged with death threats. But Hill had faced tougher adversaries growing up in Detroit than a tweeting president. Beneath the exterior of one of the most recognizable journalists in America was a need―a calling―to break her family’s cycle of intergenerational trauma.
Born in the middle of a lively routine Friday night Monopoly game to a teen mother and a heroin-addicted father, Hill constantly adjusted to the harsh realities of not only her own childhood but the inherited generational pain of her mother and grandmother. Her escape was writing.
Hill’s mother was less than impressed with the brassy and bold free expression of her diary, but Hill never stopped discovering and amplifying her voice. Through hard work and a constant willingness to learn, Hill rose from newspaper reporter to columnist to new heights as the coanchor for ESPN’s revered SportsCenter. Soon, she earned respect and support for her fearless opinions and unshakable confidence, as well as a reputation as a trusted journalist who speaks her mind with truth and conviction.
In Jemele Hill’s journey Uphill, she shares the whole story of her work, the women of her family, and her complicated relationship with God in an unapologetic, character-rich, and eloquent memoir.
