I AM STILL STANDING: TONNA OKEI IS AN UNCONQUERABLE
MAN, SAYS PROF BOUTTE
Professor Gloria Swindler Boutte, the Associate Dean of Education and a Carolina Distinguished Professor and one of the book reviewers (I AM STILL STANDING), has described the author of the book of the decade, Sir Tonna Okei, as a man with an unconquerable spirit.
In her words:
“African American ancestor Toni Morrison advised, “If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.”
Chief Okei has done just that to inspire and encourage others in the face of seemingly dire circumstances.
Opening in the African tradition, the unconquerable author, Chief Okei, situates himself among family, elders, and ancestors, thus demonstrating who he is.”.
