If You Force Pig to Mud:: America Made Me: Vol I

This is not a story about becoming what the world calls you.

It is a story about what happens when survival demands adaptation.

If You Force a Pig to Mud:: America Made Me-Vol I is a raw, reflective exploration of identity shaped under pressure. Through personal narrative and social observation, the author examines what it means to be placed into environments never designed for your flourishing- and then blamed for the ways you learned to endure them.

This book confronts the quiet violence of expectations, labels, and systemic conditioning. It explores how dignity erodes when humanity is denied, how strength is mistaken for defiance, and how resilience is often born in spaces of contradiction. This story moves through moments of self-awareness, culture collision, and hard-earned clarity, revealing how survival can be misread as choice.

The cover image reflects the core tension of the book: presence without permission, beauty under scrutiny, and a gaze that refuses to shrink. It is a visual declaration of a agency of seeing oneself clearly even when the world insists on distortion.

America Made Me is not an accusation alone; it is an examination. A testimony of what emerges when a person is shaped by a system that demands conformity yet punishes authenticity. This volume begins a larger narrative- one that questions who

defines worth, who assigns roles, and who benefits when people are forced to adapt just to breathe.

This is Vol I of a story about pressure, perception, and the cost of being misunderstood in plain sight.
