"Don't call me back" isn't rejection. It's protection. It's clear. It's love - For the boy Andre once was, and the man he became. In his new memoir, Don't Call Me Back, Andre picks up where his acclaimed debut, I Found a Way Out, left off - not to revisit the pain, but to honor the healing. With poetic urgency and hard-won wisdom, Andre reflects on what it means to set boundaries not from bitterness, but from love - for himself, for his past, and for the future he's still building. Raised in a system that punished emotion and labeled him "disruptive" before ever seeing him as a child, Andre's journey was shaped by trauma, defined by resilience, and ultimately transformed by the radical labor of healing. This story is about more than survival.
It's about liberation. About choosing softness without shame. About learning that healing isn't accidental - it's earned. Through grief. Through unlearning. Through walking away from what no longer serves us, even when it hurts. Don't Call Me Back is not a story of rejection. It's a story of reclamation. A permission slip to move forward - with intention, with softness, and without apology. A memoir. A boundary. A love letter to becoming. For the ones who grew up too fast. For the ones still learning to feel safe in their own skin.
This story is yours, too.
