From Raj To Riches: Overcoming Life Through Faith

"From Raj To Riches" is a motivational autobiography about how to overcome show business and life through faith.

"Ernest Thomas is an incredible actor and performer. Something about Raj's character in 'What's Happening' brought me comfort and let me know anything was possible." - Chris Rock

"My father, Muhammad Ali, loved Ernest Thomas so much and always liked to call him Raj. I remember them having so much fun together-telling jokes, doing magic tricks, greeting fans, and having meaningful discussions about spirituality and religion." - May May Ali

"I can honestly say I've learned much about who I was as a teen by watching Ernest Thomas' brilliant performances. 'What's Happening' provided positive, hilarious, poignant examples of young African American life that was so rare to see on television during my teenage years. Now, I can also legitimately say, having personally worked with him on 'Everybody Hates Chris, ' that I learned much of what I do as an artist from him. His kindness, professionalism, and respect for his craft and colleagues set the standard for me and continues set the bar for which I strive." - Terry Crews
