Transformed

A Navy SEAL’s Unlikely Journey from the Throne of Africa, to the Streets of the Bronx, to Defying All Odds

By: Remi Adeleke

Narrated by: Remi Adeleke

What would it take for one young Black man not only to rise above 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 stripped financially of everything by the Nigerian government. Following his father’s death, he and his mother and brother relocated permanently to the Bronx where his single mother struggled to provide for the family.

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 twenty times more likely to end up in prison than any other demographic. While it would have been easy to believe that he could never beat those odds, Remi Adeleke refused to fall victim to that premise.

Sharing his incredible journey through the struggles of his life, Remi doesn’t shy away from his illegal activities as a young man that threatened to derail his future as a Navy SEAL. He shares:

• How perseverance transformed his life despite all odds
• How taking ownership of his mistakes and shortcomings led him to success
• His hard-earned wisdom gained over years of struggle
• Belief that the adversities, trials, and tribulations he went through were specific moves by God

At every turn, including throughout his naval career, Adeleke found a way to overcome the odds, even when it didn’t make sense. Remi Adeleke’s journey of following God’s voice, rising above statistics, and experiencing true personal transformation will inspire and move you.

Inspiring Story

I listened to this book on long walks while on my quest to become more fit and healthy. This story was fuel for me. I love the “Never Give Up” message that Remi Adeleke writes about here. It is a beautifully told story.

Inspirational and full of suspense

Excellent book. I wish for nothing but good things for this man and his family . Thank you for your service.

Such an amazing story.

I have read quite A few navy seal books. This by far has to be one of the best books I have read and can’t believe everything Remi went through. So amazing what God has done through him and all that he has accomplished. Have so many questions and just feel like Remi would be an amazing person to sit and have a conversation with. Great book man!!
