Product Description
by Aminata Sy (Author)
Could you create opportunity from adversity and transform your life?
Perseverance, patience, generosity, resilience: these are the values Aminata Sy learned from her aunt growing up in Dakar. Her childhood was riddled with broken bonds and poverty, each issue threatening to derail her life.
But Aminata's story is one of redemption, an allegory demonstrating the power you possess when you release the past and create your own path forward. In Destined, Aminata shares her journey, providing an intimate look at life as a mother juggling school and work in pursuit of a rewarding career and better life for her family. An immigrant with little education, Aminata earned multiple degrees and became one of the few Senegalese-Americans to serve as an American diplomat. Narrated with humility and candor, Destined is an inspirational memoir reminding us that each challenge makes us stronger, each goal makes us wiser, and no dream is too far out of reach.
