Not everything we inherit is a gift. Some burdens must be broken through.

Born of the Shell: A Journey from Containment to Becoming is a transformative blend of narrative insight, spiritual reflection, and cultural authenticity. At its core is the story of Osé — a metaphor for those struggling to emerge from inherited pain, silence, and expectation.

Written by Caribbean author and pastor Joseph Griffith, this first volume explores personal growth through poetic storytelling and timeless wisdom. It is both memoir and message — a tool for reflection, healing, and mentoring across generations.
