Summary: Author Steve D. Anderson delivers a gripping revelation of his time growing up in the “infamous” Jane and Finch community where he struggles to find himself and at an early age and is forced to deal with the sudden separation of his parents and the uncertainty that followed. Steve’s story takes the reader on a journey of setbacks, disappointments and lessons learned before becoming the first Black lawyer ever hired by the largest transportation company in Canada, the Toronto Transit Commission. Years later, Steve would make history again becoming the first racialized person elected as Deputy Mayor for the Town of Shelburne and Councillor for the County of Dufferin. Driven to Succeed is a powerful and inspirational story that reminds us that it is not how you start in life but how you decide to finish. Obstacles are inevitable for everyone, but how you choose to respond to them is what will define your legacy.
