As a seasoned paramedic and union leader, Anthony Almojera thought he could handle anything his job threw at him. Like many medical first responders, he came from a troubled background and carried the traumas of the city as well as its triumphs. He had grown up in the rough-and-tumble Park Slope of the 1980s, been homeless for a time, and had watched murder, addiction, and hopelessness consume those closest to him. But he had dedicated his life to helping people in need, and while every day was filled with tragedy—stabbings, shootings, accidents, suicides—it also brought moments of uplift.

Honestly I thought I was going to hear about the hardships of being a first responder, and whatever complexities that comes with this authors story. I have never left a negative review, but there’s So much room for improvement. If your going to tell a story while placing an honorable Colors of the FDNY on your Cover, don’t make it about Politics. You shamed those that didn’t take the Shot, I took it but I never shamed them for they’re decisions, look at everything that’s coming out about that the same shot you Shamed people for Not blindly talking. The Speaker of the house Nancy pelosi was the one that said it was unconstitutional to be forced to take it, Not Trump! Hating Trump isn’t going to tell the best of what EMS is, I know because I started out in EMS in one of the worst neighborhoods in east New York and I loved what I did, but I had to leave because I couldn’t afford much on my check. I’m ok with having a difference of an opinion, but demonizing people does the total opposite of what we as First responders Represent, Hopefully if you do write another book, it will actually contain a transparent version that leaves room for the reader Not the author to draw They’re own conclusion, Good luck and thanks for your perspective

Author Remi Adeleke takes listeners back to stories from his childhood as Nigerian royalty to losing his father early in life and being financially stripped of everything by the Nigerian government. He delves into being raised by a single mother in the Bronx and doesn’t shy away from the illegal activities that threatened to derail his future. Having gone through times of intense struggle, pressure, and failure, Adeleke shares his inspiring story of overcoming the odds, even when it didn’t make sense; and ultimately experiencing true personal transformation.

This Story takes the reader deep inside the world of a troubled inner City kid, thru a whirlwind of circumstances that leaves the reader shouting out Booyah Sergeant. Not gonna lie I wish there was a Transformed part 2 lol, but wow what a story, This should’ve been a Movie!!
