Description

A Nigerian girl is born in Chicago on a leap year day: February 29th, just two months after the sudden death of her father. Life altered for good, with only the love and care of her mother. Now a fatherless child, Ola, and her mom moves back to Nigeria. But when unforeseen circumstances develop, Ola must return to her birthplace. Upon her return to the United States, she discovers the disheartening truth: bias stems not only from outside of the home but within her community. GET YOUR FOOT OFF MY NECK is an 'eye-opening' memoir of a Nigerian-American who overcomes oppression. It is about a resilient little girl who grew up to become an architect and successful creative entrepreneur despite abuse, betrayal, and internalized racism. Told in two-folds: part memoir and part societal lessons, her book is in infused with colorful multicultural anecdotes, quotes, and stories, Ola's message is clear: Stepping on necks is undoubtedly consequential.
