Facing despondency from playing type casting roles, Stanley took a break from acting for almost eleven years, during that time he trained as a counsellor, working with prisoners and primary school children with behavioural issues. Stanley went on to travel the world for four years backpacking across five continents and gaining unprecedented life experiences. When he returned to London, he retrained as an actor at the age of thirty-seven. He was awarded the sole scholarship for men at the Mountview Acting Academy and graduated in 2009 having studied classical theatre.Stanley would go on to perform Shakespeare's "Othello" (2011), touring Ireland for three months. For his portrayal of one of the theatre's most challenging roles, he won rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. As the Irish Theatre Magazine put it: "This absorbing revival soundly delivers a new Othello for our times, raising the play's profile to long overdue recognition".His other notable works on the stage include "Titus Andronicus" at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (2013), "Bethlehem Lights" at the Henley Drama Festival (2017), where he won the Best Actor Award for his performance in the lead role of Andrew, "Chigger Foot Boys" at the National Theatre Studios (2017), "Romeo and Juliet" at the Globe Theatre (2019) and a UK tour of Winsome Pinnock's "One Under" (2019).

Set against a backdrop of 1970s poverty and racism, the memoir charts Stanley's experiences growing up in a Jamaican family in East London. In the book, he reflects on his life being raised in the care system and coping with his mother's mental illness from such an early age. His powerful story of generational trauma and determination to heal the wounds of the past trace a universal desire for belonging and the search to find an authentic voice through the redemptive power of creativity and recovery.
