When My Heart Stops Beating, My Words Will Forever Breathe It by Timothy A. Garnes is a compelling and deeply personal semi-autobiography that chronicles one man's journey through systemic racism and self-discovery.
Raised in rural Brunswick County, Virginia, Garnes was the first in his family to join the military, travel overseas, and graduate from college. His illustrious career as a Special Forces Green Beret and later as a government contractor took him to over 30 countries, including extended periods in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Kuwait. These experiences expanded his worldview and ignited a lifelong passion for cultural exploration.
The book also reflects on his transformative time in East Africa, where he lived in Kenya, immersed himself in Ethiopia, and journeyed twice to Egypt, connecting deeply with the essence of African ancestry and the foundations of Ancient Kemet.
In this candid account, Garnes confronts the harsh realities of racism in America while celebrating the resilience, innovation, and unity of African-descended peoples. His journey is a testament to the power of cultural awareness, personal growth, and reclaiming ancestral heritage.
This book is a call to action for all people of African descent—including African Americans, continental Africans, and the global diaspora—to reconnect with their history and the blueprints of civilization itself.
