WHY I WROTE GO BACK AND GET IT!

By Marcia M Spence

I wrote Go Back and Get It because I needed to heal and I knew I wasn’t the only one. For years, I carried pain. I didn’t have time to process grief, illness, trauma, disappointment, and burnout. I had survived so much, but I hadn’t stopped long enough to acknowledge what it cost me.

Then, in a season of deep reflection, I heard a divine whisper through my journaling: “GO BACK AND GET IT.”

That’s when I found Sankofa, the West African principle that teaches us to go back and reclaim what we’ve forgotten, lost, or left behind.

This book is a personal journey of healing, spiritual growth, and self-discovery. It blends lived experience with self-help tools, spiritual insight, and emotional honesty.

I wrote this book for the one who feels tired, unseen, stuck, or ashamed. This is for the one who has been strong for everyone else, but feels broken inside.

We are proud to celebrate a decade of empowering voices through storytelling. Marcia M Publishing House was born from my bed room during seasons of chronic illness and depression. With no startup capital and only my faith and determination, I published my memoir — and opened the door for others. Ten years on, we’ve published over 300 titles and launched two magazines. What began as survival became legacy.

Fredi’s journey took him from gang life to becoming a sought-after bodyguard for celebrities, including Biggie Smalls, TLC, and Donell Jones. He also made history as the only British rapper signed by the Wu-Tang Clan’s label. Yet, his passions shifted over time, leading him toward filmmaking. He has directed and produced 11 movies, the most recent being Jafaican, an entertaining comedy adventure filmed in Jamaica and London, with Peter Andre, Oliver Samuels, Wil Johnson and Sizzla Kalonji. The film premiered at Odeon Cinemas in the UK and Australia, delighting audiences with its vibrant twists, cultural depth, and heartfelt humour. As one reviewer described, “Jafaican brings London to Yard… laughter, culture, and a whole heap of vibes.”

Fredi’s next upcoming film stars Cynthia Bailey in a distinguished Christmas production.

But the story doesn’t end there. Fredi is now working on an autobiography that promises to capture his extraordinary journey from adversity to triumph…
