This month saw the total completion of the anticipated audio version of Kofi Douhadji’s memoir, Unbroken Optimist. It is a self-read book that will certainly immerse you in his story. Hearing the account from the author whose first language is not English (I believe he told me it’s one of seven) is part of the aura and realism of this telling. And Kofi is quick to emphasize it’s not just his story, it’s our story too. All of us are given the opportunity to shape what our story is and will be by the choices we make each minute of every day. No barriers need dictate our possibilities – they rather can be stepping stones on our journey. From a very meager beginning in Togo, West Africa, adversities in education, meeting his bride to be, arrival in the United States, enlistment in the Air Force, gaining coveted U.S. citizenship to entrepreneur adventures and so much more, this story will keep you engaged and challenged.
The audio files have all been submitted to the online audio distributor, and they await final processing and release. I’ll be sure to post a link here as soon as it’s available. Well done Kofi, and we look forward to all being able to hear your story – and to see what chapters unfold next.
