People Who Rebuilt Lives After Migration - Memoir Q&A

The gap between where I started and where I am today should not be possible. I rode a bicycle across Lagos to an unpaid internship. Before that, I was a known hawker. Sold oranges, bread, palm oil, sachet water. Some days, I crawled beneath trains just to reach the next customer. On the day of my final university examination, they came into the exam hall to stop me from writing. One lecturer stood up for me and made sure I was allowed to finish. Why? I had borrowed money from anyone willing to lend and creditors were afraid I would abscond if allowed to sit the last paper without clearing my debt. I presented radio programmes for four years without pay. I once walked through heavy rain to a television studio with nothing but a tarpaulin covering my suit because I could not afford to miss the opportunity. Years later, I arrived in a new country with no network, no reputation, and my name attached to nothing. Somehow, every one of those moments became part of a much bigger story. I'm now writing a book about all of this experiences. Before it goes to print, I want to add one final chapter. Not my words. Yours. I want to answer the questions people genuinely have after hearing this story. Ask me about starting over in a new country with no network. Ask me about staying faithful when nothing seems to be changing. Ask me about building something when everyone around you has stopped believing. Ask me about navigating rejection, public failure, delayed dreams, sacrifice, career, leadership, faith, or the hidden cost of becoming. Or ask me something I haven't thought about. The strongest questions will be featured in the book and answered. If you would like, your question will be credited with your name and where you are from. So... Comment with your question below. ♻ Subscribe to Off the Record. The link is in my Featured section. #PublicRelations #Leadership #Audacity
