Memoir Excerpt
From Igboland to Texas: A Journey of Struggle, Hope, and Belonging
From the red earth paths of rural Amesi, Nigeria, to the expansive highways of Texas, this memoir traces a life shaped by resilience, faith, and determination.
I was born into a world where survival was never guaranteed, and opportunities were few. The lessons of community, discipline, and perseverance I learned in my village became the foundation for my journey across the Atlantic. Leaving behind family and familiar soil, I ventured to America with little more than dreams and determination.
The story unfolds through my pursuit of education against odds, the challenges of adapting to a new culture, and the weight of carrying both personal ambition and communal responsibility. Each chapter reflects not only my path but also the shared experiences of countless immigrants who balance two worlds — the land of their birth and the land of their becoming.
As a professional engineer, I found purpose in building roads, bridges, and communities across Texas. These projects were not just concrete and steel; they were symbols of hope, access, and progress — gateways to a better life for others, much like the journey that brought me here.
This memoir is more than a personal story. It is a testimony of what it means to dream, to endure, and to belong.
