Dear Ayodeji, I just could not resist and read the prologue and epilogue of you book – I already love it! You are a wonderful story teller. I am already looking forward to reading “the rest” of it 😉 Kind regards   – Karin

Thanks DJ. You are raising the bar and our level of consciousness – ( Mzuki. Author )

Good morning! I started reading The helper’s son that is how my weekend went. OMG this is a real book, I’m pretty sure far harder to write than the other one. Waoh, na real work but I can see it coming natural for you. Your travel experiences, your talent in talking lol all being put…

It’s so weird cause a client of mine said he wants to write a book this week about his culture identity and growing up in an apartheid system. He was always seen as “white” He doesn’t know about this book! – ( Lindi publisher )

Nice to see that you are documenting life from your perspective and creating memories – ( Derin )

How did you even think about all the stuff you wrote? It’s almost as if you lived it. Jongikhaya being a caregiver to Mr. Smith with dementia literally resonated with me cause I’m literally living it with my dad – ( Anonymous)

Congrats Dejoore, this is wonderful. It is impressive how you are able to navigate through an obviously busy career schedule, the grind of daily living, and yet still able to pen these books….next time I interview you (😆), I will put these questions to you. Well done🍺 – ( Gboyen)

I’m so so excited about this Deji thanks for making us proud as your friend may the lord open your eyes to more possibilities that you can achieve and the grace and strength to fully maximize your potential ijn. I’m proud of you my brother. – ( Kolibo )
