In this book <i>Celebrating My Africanness</i>, he looks at a continental attitude that has caused millions to waste their lives and gifts, glued to past pains and failing to move ahead with their lives. The book encourages citizens of the continent to appreciate themselves and begin to value who they are and build their lives on that. Unless you change your attitude toward you, you will not see much success. No one disqualifies you more than you yourself. You are hindered by how you treat yourself.
