Few years ago I dropped out of university & started a digital business which eventually became my livelihood during the shootings & crisis in Cameroon. Years later, I featured on the BBC, British Council’s top 100, won Oxford University’s GLC, authored a best-selling book & generated 50m+ in business. As I grow, my fulfilment comes from sharing my journey & building friends. Dear ARREYB shares my experiences & unfiltered conversations with thought leaders in business, enter10ment, politics & media. My mission is to inspire friends to keep chasing the better versions of themselves.
