Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boldly Speaking is a powerful, compelling, and fascinating autobiographical account of the life and passion of a Nigerian American immigrant. His life experiences and circumstances in America illuminate the plights of immigrants (mainly African immigrants) in diaspora. His arrival and the subsequent abandonment at the airport by his brother-in-law led to several unexpected events that culminated in the emotional and psychological trauma that changed him. Despite these tumultuous beginnings, he crawled his way up through hard work, kept a positive attitude, and persevered to become a highly educated, accomplished, and successful professional. This is one of the highlights of his journey: Starting at age three, he was mesmerized by watching two of his uncles who went abroad to study and came back home as educated professionals and vowed to replicate their steps. 1
