Interview with Authors Jarnell Stokes & Howard Flamm
From the NBA & producing films to writing children’s books
Jarnell Stokes grew up in the inner city of Memphis. He experienced many failures before changing his mindset to achieve the success he has since high school and becoming a professional basketball player. In his personal life, he focuses on developing healthy habits for his mind, body, and soul. He has expanded his athletic success and this philosophy into building a health and consciousness-based business he named Stoked.
Howard Flamm has been engaged in the creative arts for many years. He has worked as a stand-up comedian, commercial & television actor, screenwriter, and film producer. He is known for his feature film release Shut Up and Kiss Me. As a natural health practitioner, Howard also operates wellness centers in the West where he’s helped transform many lives. He is most gratified by this opportunity to light the path for patients to reverse chronic disease. Howard believes that life is a journey, not a destination.
I spoke with Jarnell & Howard about their book, “Wings to Fly,” how they ended up collaborating on a children’s book, the book’s inspiring message, and advice for aspiring writers.
