RAFFAELE GALANTE III
About the Author
Raffaele Galante III Raffaele Galante III is a native of Southern California, raised in the vibrant, working-class port community in Los Angeles, San Pedro. He is of Italian and Croatian descent.
Raffaele grew up surrounded by a rich mix of language, culture, success, and poverty, which led him to learn early on the value of listening, watching, and observing elders, children, and nature.
His upbringing included Christianity, which, along with community, work ethic, and the importance of family, shaped his foundational values. This shaped a foundation to build upon for his life, relationships, values and personal growth. Writing this book is a way to share something he found along the way, through much pain and fortune. A way to connect internally, eternally and for us to explore a divine DNA we all have within us.
He credits much of his ability to connect, lead, and inspire to these early lessons in humility, faith, and perspective.
Raffaele's aim is to be a guide and a bridge between great authors, poets, prophets, and the unexpected truths dropped by others. The book is a reflection of his experiences, injuries, setbacks, and near-death experiences, serving as a guide for reflection and growth.
