A relay race can be won or lost on the smallest of technicalities: if the baton is passed incorrectly, the entire team could be disqualified. When author Doyin Olorunfemi witnessed this in action, she saw it as a metaphor for the passing of wisdom from one generation to the next. It doesn't matter how talented individuals are; if life principles and social values aren't handed down, how could we expect to cross the finish line together as winners?
Doyin was thus inspired to write this letter and share her advice with young women like you. In four parts, she explores the mind-set and tips that led her to success, inviting you to
- learn from own journey and how it has shaped her,
- adopt the attitudes you need to achieve exceptionality,
- understand relationships and how to properly cultivate them, and
- apply her creative acronyms to help you memorize this wealth of wisdom.
The book is at once unique, playful, and thoughtful. You'll be motivated by the "attitude alphabet" and nourished by the carefully chosen scriptures. By the end, you'll have grown in confidence and feel empowered to run your own life's race with poise and grace.
About the Author: Author Doyin Olorunfemi has a degree in computer engineering. This, she believes, is the reason for her trademark step-by-step approach to problem solving and the analytical, yet evasive ways she derives solution and strategies to somewhat complex life riddles. Since 2002, she has spent her career inspiring and empowering women. She focuses on helping women generate sustainable income and develop confidence in themselves. A published author, motivational speaker and mentor to so many women, Doyin's goal is to equip women to pass on their strengths and knowledge to the next generation. To this end, Doyin leads The MAP (Motivate, Adorn, and Prepare) workshop, a London based gathering for women in June of every year.
Doyin is happily married to her husband, Kayode, and has two beautiful daughters, Tamilore and Damisi.
