Far too many issues affecting and shaping our social constructs are swept under the rug. In fact, the rug cannot hide it anymore! Often in the bid to avoid the hard conversations, we end up taking on the hard, painful, and forlorn journey of life. Our proclivities to ignore conversation that makes us uncomfortable is the reason why we will never enjoy true comfort, peace, and freedom. A Village On My Shoulders is not a conversation for the politically correct but a brave conversation unveiling many issues deemed taboo affecting the young working adults particularly the African child. From Bait to Back pains, from Woes of weights to Smoke that thunders, from The chocking effect to The Economics of suffering, from Cages of commons to Payback time and from Men don’t cry to The helpline, an unfiltered conversation, and norm-challenging conversation is sure to transform your life. This book is well thought out, researched, and passionately put to help the young and old in dealing with society’s burdensome expectations, and all sorts of pressures of life that have too many a times robbed people of a sustainable, debt free life and left many in depression or worse. Yes, there is a village on my shoulders! Let’s talk about it
