Throughout my life I have been told directly and indirectly that
dyslexia is found in particular people... [In fact] dyslexia can be
found in someone like me. It isn't just 'okay' but something to be
proud of. This book has been written because I want people to know
that dyslexia can be found in people of every colour, creed, or
circumstance. In this book, rising star entrepreneur Onyinye
Udokporo shares her story of growing up dyslexic in a society where
neurodivergence was always presented as a white male issue. Onyinye
discusses her experience of being diagnosed at 11 years old,
starting a business the following year, gaining a scholarship to a
prestigious boarding school and going on to complete two degrees by
the age of 22, while also being honest about the difficulties she
faced throughout including with bullying and anxiety. She shares
the tips she picked up over the years for thriving with dyslexia
and the strategies she used to overcome her difficulties in reading
and writing well, staying organised and speaking with confidence.
Illuminating wider issues of systemic racism in the educational
sector and providing a timely reminder that dyslexia can be found
in any community and culture, this is an empowering story of
surviving and thriving in the face of adversity.
