All Parents Are Creators, and...

Your Words Have Power.

However, the problem is—
if you're like most of the world, you don't realize
the immense, awesomeness, and innate power of your words.

So, Certain Future Press supports global parents
to establish empowering stories during your child's formative years—
in your culture, in your beliefs, and in your language.

Are you ready to unleash the power of your words?


Said another way...
We help you secure your parent-child relationship
through your unique lived experience in your community
to create a 'growth mindset culture' in your home using your stories.


Why?
Because of these two kids, right here...

Hi, I'm M. Aurelius Higgs, co-founder of Certain Future Press, lover of words, and the proud son of these two beautiful humans right here 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

Along with life—my father gave me three gifts:
1. He gave me a love of learning.
2. He gave me a good name (Yes, that is my real name.)
3. He gave me his story—and the honor to narrate the audiobook.

Along with life, my mother blessed me with three more gifts:
1. She gave me a joy for life.
2. She gave me an example of 'perseverance beyond belief'.
3. She gave me her story in her journals and a reason to serve the world.

My life flourishes because my parents, who gave everything.
Now, I return everything—in my words and work—to honor them.
My parents, siblings, aunties, uncles, elders, mentors, caregivers, and uncountable unseen supporters—because of the collective wisdom passed down in their stories—they've helped shape my character and the man I'm privileged to be today.They showed me
Life 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 your family capture and pass on your stories of accomplishment and resilience.Because I believe,
when your family can resonate
with your own empowering narratives,
you can change
- your home,
- your community,
and even
- your nation.
You may say I'm a dreamer, but hey...
...it's even possible our
words can change
our world.

The Problem

Adolescence is a period of profound transformation, marked by growing independence, identity formation, and the anticipation of future responsibilities.However, many contemporary teenagers grapple with significant challenges:Apathy: A pervasive lack of motivation, engagement, or interest in activities, learning, or future planning.
Anxiety: Excessive worry, stress, and apprehension, often focused on future uncertainties, academic pressures, social comparisons, and life decisions.
These challenges can hinder development, impact well-being, and leave adolescents feeling unprepared for a rapidly changing world.
