What would it take for one young Black man not only to rise above
statistics but also become a Navy SEAL, actor, entrepreneur,
writer, and successful husband and father? In Transformed, Remi
Adeleke takes you back to stories from his childhood, from living
as Nigerian royalty to losing his father early in life and being
stripped financially of everything by the Nigerian government.
Following his father's death, he and his mother and brother
relocated permanently to the Bronx where his single mother
struggled to provide for the family. Statistics tell us that
African American males who grow up in a single-parent household are
nine times more likely to drop out of high school and twenty times
more likely to end up in prison than any other demographic. While
it would have been easy to believe that he could never beat those
odds, Remi Adeleke refused to fall victim to that premise. Sharing
his incredible journey through the struggles of his life, Remi
doesn't shy away from his illegal activities as a young man that
threatened to derail his future as a Navy SEAL. He shares: How
perseverance transformed his life despite all odds How taking
ownership of his mistakes and shortcomings led him to success His
hard-earned wisdom gained over years of struggle Belief that the
adversities, trials, and tribulations he went through were specific
moves by God At every turn, including throughout his naval career,
Adeleke found a way to overcome the odds, even when it didn't make
sense. Remi Adeleke's journey of following God's voice, rising
above statistics, and experiencing true personal transformation
will inspire and move you.
