My Story 

With First Franklin, it’s about more than just books. It’s about the journey of understanding and the power of words that guide us.

The founding of First Franklin

I’ve always written down my thoughts to better understand them and give them meaning. That personal insight became the spark behind First Franklin. Our goal is to create a space where people find clarity through words and begin their own journey of understanding.

What sets me apart

We are born into a world that teaches us to identify only with the light, while rejecting the dark. We are told to deny our chaos, our shadows, our ‘immoral’ thoughts—to fight and erase them. Spirituality, we are told, means becoming pure light, free of all darkness, reaching a state of perfect goodness. But this is the myth of original sin—not the fruit, nor the knowledge of good and evil, but the forgetting that both are essential. First Franklin embraces this duality, offering a platform that explores the full spectrum of human experience through literature.

My vision for the future

I will write only five books and then withdraw forever—but within them, I will touch every realm of consciousness. This vision guides our ambition at First Franklin. In the coming years, we aim to become the ultimate digital destination for modern readers seeking inspiration and access to books. We will expand our curated offerings, strengthen the community, and create new avenues for visual inspiration through videos and images. Our goal is to provide a platform that enables deep immersion in literature
