Prepare yourself for a gripping narrative that will take you from the conflict-stricken areas of South Sudan to the mud-walled houses of Kakuma refugee camp, and ultimately to the heart of Germany. Our guest, Okello Joseph, shares his riveting journey of survival, struggle, and success in today's episode. His story is a testament to human resilience and the fierce belief of his value as a human being and film maker.
Imagine leaving everything you know behind at the age of three. Not just being torn from your village and country but being sent away by your mother and not knowing your real name for years. Imagine that when you meet your mother again after many years, her only message to you is : "when I die, you will live like a dog". .
It takes unrelenting determination to drive through those obstacles to survive let alone thrive. Yet Okello Joseph, not only found the strength to endure but to ensure his creativity did so as well.
This is a true story of resilience that aspiring leaders in the wealthier countries could do well to emulate.
