Author David Ogula Releases New Book - Shedding Black Africa's Burden

Author, David Ogula is pleased to announce the release of his new book, Shedding Black Africa's Burden. Released by Dog Ear Publishing in August 2017, the book encourages readers to help give Africa’s children a place of pride.

Africa Rising: Shedding Black Africa’s Burden is an introspective insider perspective about the burdens that have thwarted progress in Sub-Saharan Africa. Born and raised in Sub-Saharan Africa, Dr. David Ogula reflects on the images and perceptions that have defined Africa for centuries. Images of war, famine, hunger, pandemic, dilapidated infrastructure; abysmal basic utilities and health services, malnourished children, political and economic instability, capture the imagination of the world. Hunted by these images and the urgent need to lead the way toward a brighter future for African children, Dr. Ogula challenges black Africans to take charge of their own development, solve their problems and take control of their own lives and destiny. This is the challenge that present and future generations of Africans must tackle and overcome.

Shedding Black Africa's Burden is available in both print and ebook formats and can be purchased from the following online stores:

About the Author:
Dr. David Ogula was born and raised in Nigeria. As a child, he was curious about life beyond his immediate rural surroundings and dreamt of a better future. His pursuit of that dream propelled him to the United States, a world vastly different environment from his homeland, with almost limitless opportunities.

Drawing from his experiences and observations on both sides of the Atlantic, David Ogula provides an introspective insider perspective about Africa’s burdens. His assessment of Africa’s burdens and the solutions proffered are insightful and compelling. Join Dr. Ogula on this journey to chart Africa’s future.
