Remi Adeleke shows us what people are capable of achieving when all the odds are stacked against them. His is a story of riches to rags, and then back to riches again. In this interview, he delves into his early life living as Nigerian royalty, to America where he was selling drugs as a teenager in the Bronx to survive, to rising above all statistics to become a Navy SEAL, actor, entrepreneur, writer, and successful husband and father. He learned from a young age from his mother that whatever you do, you should do it right and with excellence, the first time, so hard work and perseverance became second nature for him. This is how he mentors inner-city youth to create a better life for themselves, and it is a message that can ring true for us adults as well.This episode brings hope and a reminder of what humans are capable of, as we continue to keep the momentum going for the modern-day civil rights movement.For full show notes, please visit https://www.baktashahadi.com/podcast Connect with and Support Remi AdelekeHis book: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/transformed-remi-adeleke/1129259319?ean=9780785219767Instagram Follow/Support Stories of Transformation and Baktash Ahadi:Donate to the production of this podcastFollow on Instagram Follow on Facebook Produced by: Dana Drahos Edited by: Joseph Gangemi Digital Marketing by: Katherine AnTheme music by: Qais EssarArtwork by: Masheed Ahadi
