Description
Malik Carter is a 17-year-old genius from Hampton, VA-raised by pain, powered by beats, and trapped in a system that never planned for him to survive. By day, he's a silent scholar. By night, he hustles to keep the lights on. But when the streets close in, a teacher sees his light, a girl challenges his silence, and a rival tests his pride-Malik must decide: be another name on the concrete... or the one who colors it. ___ IG @thepagebeneath © QueshonSpeaks - All Rights Reserved The Color of Concrete and all associated characters, plotlines, settings, and sub-stories (including "Echoes") are original works created by QueshonSpeaks (Queshon Thompson).
