UNDAUNTED

Description

Undaunted tells the story of daunting milestones in the author’s media career progression. It’s a tale of how unwanted career events have been shaped into lessons and prospects. It’s the perfect memoir that any young person interested in the media industry should read, especially at a time when several excellent media practices have gone with the wind. The author’s work ethic, resilience, and relational skills are left for the curious eyes of any reader to see; particularly from her time at Radio Nigeria.
This book presents practical steps that young media professionals in the core or soft media stream can adapt to better their acts. However, this book, unlike the opportunities the author has described isn’t wearing an overall! Thankfully, it is laid bare for readers.

The title is apt, crisp in the narrative, engaging, and enlivening. It sounds so real through picturesque imagery and common experiences of a Nigerian struggle, presented with the clarity and authentic candor of an experienced journalist. Life is full of twists and turns, but what we make of it is largely a function of what we invest in it. This is an odyssey of a tenacious young lady, her beginnings, struggles to get educated, family, personality, career trajectory, and efforts to give back to society. It is a story of an unyielding amazon; a riveting story that reminds one of the African family and the African child of the era. That is the era when everyone saw opportunities and felt responsible for their own growth and development. The story is full of daunting challenges, amusing events, failures, and exhilarating moments. The tenacity of the moment is presented as the norm in the occurrence of everyday life, success is an expectation from hard work, and failures as lessons before opportunities.

The story is a mirror of the past, a silhouette and a tapestry of life and family in transition, change, and transformation. The past is etched in the present as the story fills one with the reveries of authentic Africa. It’s very enthralling and timely for youths who feel entitled; it shows tenacious faith and hard work as the true way to success and completeness, better than agitation, blaming, and self-pity.
