Timothy Garnes, a former Special Forces Green Beret, shares his extraordinary journey in this heartfelt semi-autobiography. Growing up in rural Brunswick County, Virginia, Garnes was the first in his family to join the military, travel overseas, and graduate from college. Over the course of 34 years, his military, government contracting, and personal travels took him to over 30 countries, including 7 years living and working in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Kuwait.
His transformative experiences in East Africa—including two trips to Egypt, years spent living in Kenya, and extensive time in Ethiopia—deepened his understanding of the essence of the ancestors who laid the foundations of Ancient Kemet and civilization itself.
In When My Heart Stops Beating, My Words Will Forever Breathe It: A Black Man's Struggle With Racism In America, Garnes chronicles his life’s journey, from humble beginnings in the South to confronting systemic racism ingrained in American society. His story is one of courage, determination, and triumph, offering inspiration and insight for all African people—including African Americans, continental Africans, and others in the diaspora—to reconnect with their history and roots in the motherland.
This book educates, awakens, uplifts, and inspires, making it an essential read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the enduring legacy of African ancestry and the blueprints of civilization.
