Tatum wrote a book, Thriving In My Own Lane, tell his story. He began writing the book while he was in eighth grade, with the goal of demonstrating how he persevered despite the opinions of others.

He revealed that “I noticed that people didn’t see me in that light because I was a young Black man. They didn’t see me in the light of the next doctor, lawyer, engineer.
