Hope Story Circle with Bunmi Emenanjo - October 9, 2021

Bunmi Emenanjo shared a story of personal growth, as a child born in the United States, moving back to Nigeria with her parents and older brother at age 2. Returning with her brother to the United States to go to college at age 16, she had to figure things out on her own, from her first job at McDonald’s to getting her first car, finishing undergraduate and then going to Law School. She just wrapped up a six-month assignment at the White House, working in the office of Science and Technology — a true dream come true, from dreams that began with a core group of friends at that first McDonald’s. Her company, Atlas Book Clubs  provides books delivered to children that educate about different countries and cultures, believing ’that kids exposed to different cultures develop global awareness and a perspective that can increase their empathy, compassion, acceptance and celebration of cultures unlike their own.’ Her own personal story focused on finding joy, and the joy that she has experienced all along the way of her journey. The inquiry was to ponder joy, and explore how each of us brings joy to our interactions in our lives.
