Omowale: One Man's Justice Journey

This memoir about self discovery chronicles one man’s journey to find his true community of origin. As he explores his African heritage and personal history, he gains a new perspective on social justice, global connection, and identity formation. “Omowale is not just a memoir—it's a treatise, a personal testimony that beckons readers to our common identity as part of the human family.” —Charles Stith, pastor and investor In 2022, in the heart of Abuja, Nigeria, at a dinner attended by Nigerian dignitaries, ambassadors, and businesspeople, Dr. Christopher Brooks is rechristened: Adamu Omowale Chibozor. Translating to "the child has come home," the Yoruba name “Omowale” reinvigorates Dr. Brooks in his purpose and solidifies his connection to the continent where his ancestors lived, loved, and worshiped. With his new name guiding his path, he sets out on a journey to open new doors for his spiritual and professional communities. He dreams of a life where justice, freedom, and economic parity are all possible. Dr. Brooks has made a career by breaking the cycle of generational poverty. He co-founded Brown Venture Group, the first Black-owned venture capital firm in Minnesota. Now, his vision extends even farther—calling for the development of an interdependent economic framework, rooted in Africa and reaching the entire Black global diaspora.
