About Potential: Unlocking The Power Of Who You Were Meant To Be

This book is a radiant blend of memoir, spiritual reflection, and practical wisdom that explores what it truly means to uncover one’s potential through faith, perseverance, humility, and inner transformation. Following a journey from humble and often overlooked beginnings into spaces of higher learning, healing, leadership, and service, it reflects on how struggle, memory, discipline, and grace shape both identity and calling. Rather than presenting success as something seized through ambition, status, or self-promotion, the book offers a deeper vision of becoming—one rooted in courage, surrender, character, and faithful effort over time. Written for readers drawn to memoirs of resilience, this book offers inspiration and guidance and speaks to anyone seeking to live more awake, and bring their full humanity to the world around them. Ultimately, it is an invitation to let one’s inner light emerge not for personal acclaim, but as a source of hope, healing, and encouragement for others.

Dr. Julius Vernon Poitier is the name the author has chosen to give his potential - not as a mask, but as a mantle. It is a name shaped by reverence, aspiration, and the quiet discipline of becoming. In choosing it, he honors three towering figures whose lives embodied excellence, courage, and service: Julius Erving, whose brilliance and grace elevated the game of basketball; Vernon Jordan, whose leadership and moral force helped shape the American civic and business landscape; and Sidney Poitier, whose dignity, artistry, and historic achievements enlarged what the world believed possible. Dr. Julius Vernon Poitier is a declaration of the person that the author continues striving to become.
