Publisher's summary

What are the odds? 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 20 times more likely to end up in prison than any other demographic. But what would it take for one young man not only to rise above those 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 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 his illegal activities as a young man that threatened to derail his future. At every turn, including throughout his naval career, Adeleke found a way to overcome the odds, even when it didn’t make sense. His is an inspiring story of true personal transformation.

An inspiration

Having served with Remi. It is great to hear his full transformation he was inspiring Church service and in the gym he was a great teacher i still do a variation of some of our work outs. His book has reminded me how the Lord has touched my life and continues to lead me to greatness Remi is an inspirational to all. Thank you my Brother.

Powerful and inspirational

I believe everyone can benefit from reading this book and this journey of this young man. That especially pertains to the younger generations at this present time in America.

Absolutely Life changing

This book has redefined the way I look at life. It's a story of redemption and growth. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to take in such an amazing story.

Worth the wait

As I got into the book, I kept waiting for the transformation to take place in Remi‘s life. Though frustrated at some points, it was well worth the wait to see how Jesus transformed him.
To finally see proper closure on his relationship with Cecelia was icing on the cake.
He did an outstanding job narrating his story.
I loved it!

amazing story and well-read

Wow, wow, and wow! very inspiring and engaging book! I highly recommend it to everyone!

Moving story that impacted me in a great way

Thank you for sharing this story. It made a very positive impact on me as a husband and father to three children.

Great story, with an encouraging ending

This was a quick listen, and it was thoroughly enjoyable. Admittedly, I was concerned this was just another "hardcore" story about the tough kid turned Navy Seal and ended up being the best Seal to ever live. But, I appreciate the candor Remi had in telling his journey to become a Seal - the failures and all. There is more to his story, and I don't want to give it away by detailing the parts of the story I enjoyed most, but take the opportunity to listen...it's well worth the effort.

Read this book

This is one of the best books that I have ever read. I highly recommend this book to everyone. Having Remi, the author, reading it is the ultimate experience for the listener. I look forward to the other books he writes and the work he does in the future. This is a story of struggle, triumph and so much more. Thank you Remi

Phenomenal poignant and well performed

this book was awesome. I thought he did an excellent job of capturing the essence of each stage of his life without the book Emerson. The narration was very good and as with any good performance did you distract from the book but added to the book.

I would highly recommend this book and put it on par Adam Brown story Fearless.

Well done

This book is incredible

Such an inspiration. His story is amazing and wonderful. Also hearing Remi tell the story is the best way to hear it. 100!
