About the Book

An excellent resource of inspiration for young people all over the world. It is a story about a young man, Saikou Camara, from West Africa, the Gambia, who persevered through some very difficult times in his early life to becoming one of the most influential young leaders of his generation. The author efficiently addressed multitudes of topics ranging from poverty in the African society, child labor, poor educational systems in Africa, brain drain, the dream of travelling abroad (by all means necessary), illegal migration, his experiences with race/racism, poor governance in Africa, and economic discrepancy. Critics described the literature as an inspirational bible for young people everywhere. We have all witnessed the glory and success of the author today, but this literature lead us into the author's continuous journey, struggles, and painful days of his life that he and many young Africans are facing today. The book is orderly and neatly written. Mr. Camara took his readers on a journey of his life encounters which were filled with obstacles, perseverance, and triumphs, which many young people can relate to. The message throughout the entire book was to follow your dreams and to never give up. This message is relevant to young people all over the world today, especially to young Africans. His message is that without perseverance, commitment, and consistency to your ideas, dreams, and, aspirations you will not succeed in your endeavors. The author never relented or despaired when the going got tough on him, he got tougher instead. In a nutshell the "Testimony of An African Immigrant" is a summary (open letter) of the struggles and plights of young Africans to African and world leaders. Go and pick up your own copy today and be inspired.
About the Author: Saikou Camara is from The Gambia, West Africa. He travelled to the United States in 2004 in pursuit of university education, graduating in 2008 with a BS in Computer Science from Rust College in Holly Springs Mississippi, and two years later with a Master's degree also in Computer Science from Jackson State University in Jackson Mississippi. He works for Union Pacific Rail Road as a Transmission/Networking Engineer. 
 He is the founder and President of Your Change for a Change (YCFaC), a 501C3 non-profit organization incorporated in the state of Nebraska and registered in five different countries (France, Sweden, the Gambia, UK and USA). He is also the President of a non-profit organization, People Making a Difference (PMaD, ) incorporated in the state of Nebraska (2014), comprising mainly young African professionals within the greater Omaha area. Currently, he serves as a board member of the Simple Foundation incorporated in Omaha Nebraska and the Give1 Project, the Gambia chapter. As an activist with a passion for youth empowerment, he co-founded the Global Leadership and Diversity Summit (GLEADS) in 2016, which brings together diverse group of young leaders to discuss innovative ideas and find solutions to the everyday challenges facing our diverse communities.
 True to his roots as an African, Saikou Camara is a storyteller, a talent that has greatly enhanced his profile as a public and motivational speaker. Storytelling is an integral part of his culture and it plays an instrumental part in his life. For him, storytelling is an art form that simultaneously links us to our past and gives us insight into the future. 
 Drawing on his experience as a trained IT professional and president for non-profit organizations, he provides Project Development Consultancy for many start-up businesses and entrepreneurs especially in the field of technology, social enterprises, and not for profit. 
 In 2014, he received the Superior Community Service award from the Black Employee Network (BEN) and for two years in a row (2015-2016), he was honored with the Citizen of the Year award by the Beta Upsilon chapter of Omega Psi Phi fraternity incorporated.
