Hi, I'm M. Aurelius Higgs

I'm passionate about the power of words and human connection.Through my work with Certain Future Press, I'm dedicated
- to create empowered parent-child relationships
- in traditionally underserved communities worldwide,
- by spreading generational stories that inspire a growth mindset.Why?
Because of these two kids, right here...

My father gave me 3 invaluable gifts:
1. He gave me life.
2. He literally gave me a good name (yes, that's my birth name.)
3. He gave me his story (...and I was honored to narrate the audiobook)

My mother blessed me with 3 more priceless gifts:
1. She gave me her joyous spirit for life.
2. She gave me an example of 'perseverance beyond belief'.
3. She gave a reason to serve the world (...through her story and expression of love.)

My life flourishes because of the collective wisdom passed down during my formative years in my local culture and our broader global community.Through my multi-national parents, aunties, uncles, elders, mentors, caregivers, and so on—their stories, diverse experiences, and insights helped shape my character and taught me how to grow from life's inevitable challenges.They showed me how to be 'stress progressive'; manage, leverage, and grow from the necessary stressors of life.Being connected to my community has given me the foundation to strive and inspire others, because I believeLife supports those who support Life —And when we support, strengthen and uplift others, we create ripples of positive change that extend far beyond our immediate circles.That's why I help families share their inspirational stories.Because if you and your family can resonate with your own empowering story,
it can change
- your home,
- your community,
and even
- your nation.You may say I'm a dreamer or even a 'crazy one', but hey...
....it's even possible our
words can change
our world.

Current Project

Continuing Our Story

You already know a large portion of the wisdom you want to share with your child, however, science shows:
- ‘knowing yourself’,
- getting more clarity on who you are, and
- creating a ‘coherent narrative’ of your lived experience
is the greatest work you can do to raise striving children, and it’s going to make the work of parenting a whole lot easier.

By leveraging the evidence-based principles from the latest science in human development along with ‘narrative therapy’, ‘growth mindset’ and ‘motivating adolescents', Continuing Our Story presents a transformative communication parent-child approach to move from unhealthy conflict to wholesome co-authorship.
