Akwasi M. Maru, Self-help, Educational, and Poetic Storyteller
Captain Akwasi Maru, age 41, is a career firefighter. A Birmingham, Alabama native, Akwasi is a mentor to firefighters, helping them prepare for their future roles as leaders within the fire department. His passion for his career has inspired him to write Interrogation of the Fire Service, a book about issues facing the fire service. In it, he addresses the death of firefighters, the “cause and effects” of cancer, how government budget restraints caused the closing of fire stations and lay off hundreds of firefighters throughout the country. In addition, he details how the closing of those fire station lessens the response time to calls which increases civilian chances of dying.
Maru loves to …show more content…
When he’s not spending time with his family, taking long nature walks, he enjoys fishing, writing poetry, and playing djembe drums.
Maru inspirational quote is, "No man knows less than the man who knows it all~ Anonymous. It is the reason he puts so much research into his writing and he uses an outline to keep him focused. The deep-thinking author inspirations come from his life experiences, his career, and his desire to help others.
Maru final words are, “Books are life's utterance: Utterance is Words and words are our everyday speech. It is Words that are on every author’s page. We put what we experience and love on paper, thus books are life’s utterance.” He says to others, “Stay focused, think about your final goal and what you want to accomplish with your project. Be it finance or to entertain.”
