"The graduating college senior often has no entry-level prospects, salaried employees are being forced to take buy-out packages and Michigan has the worst economy in the nation. "The Brand YU Life" illustrates why making a personal investment in yourself or simply reevaluating your professional positioning is vital to your livelihood," said Flemings.

The Brand YU Project Personal Development and Book Release Event will be hosted at The Biegas Gallery, 35 Grand River East in Detroit, on Saturday, January 27, 2007 from 5-7 p.m. Attendees can expect personal branding exercises, give-a-ways, hors d'oeuvre, and the first autographed copies of "The Brand YU Life."

He is a Lecturer at Michigan Technological University. Flemings currently resides in Belleville, Michigan with his wife Kasandra.
