The passage “Fort Greene Dreams” is about the personal life and rise to success of mufti-talented Nelson George and how his moving to Fort Greene changed his life. He talks about the area he grew up in and how it began with a phone call from director Spike Lee. He talked about how growing up in Brooklyn as a kid was nothing like it was living in Fort Greene. He was even robbed while living there and that’s when he figured things would be different from where he grew up. However ironically enough he had much success after his move. He wrote five books at 19 Willoughby including his involvement in movies like “The Death of Rhythm and Blues” and “Shes gotta have it”. He is very passionate about what he loves to do and said he would “drown” in all his accomplishments of work. To Nelson, it is not about him being with all these famous people but to see the area of Brooklyn flourishing with so much success and artistic culture.  Throughout this time as well he met many famous people and got his name known quick. Slowly Nelson became a mentor to all up and coming artists, film makers etc. That were on the rise. He even wrote and produced his own screenplays. Yet as much as his career was taking off, he still kept it simple by getting takeout and going to his favorite restaurants. Due to his small mistake though to this day he still mourns the loss of his personalized soul train jacket was stolen while signing for a Fed-ex package. That was the least memorable moment of him in Fort Greene but one thing he did love was working with so many up and coming artists as well as other young talents. He believed in making an impact in the entertainment business and doing what he loved.
