This book serves both as an autobiography and memoirs of the author, Demba Ali Jawo, while he served as cabinet minister in the government of Gambian President Adama Barrow. It contains the experiences of a simple village boy who managed to weather the storm under very trying circumstances to reach the pinnacle of public service. The book depicts an interesting convergence of tradition and modernity, showing how Mr. Jawo, despite all the hurdles and challenges that life threw his way, managed to transition himself from a simple Fulani herds boy to become one of the Gambia’s most formidable and respected journalists, eventually leading the Gambian media fraternity for many years and culminating in him becoming a cabinet minister in the transitional government formed following the defeat of the dictatorial regime of former Gambian leader, Yahya Jammeh in 2016.
