Meet the author, Dr. Emma Osong, and join the discussion and special Q&A; we will be discussing her book, Unraveled: A Personal Journey into Conflict, War, and Diplomacy.

Dr. Emma’s new book called the “Unraveled” where two worlds collide in this emotional journey provides a blueprint on how to promote peace and justice amid times of war. Emma Osong’s world was turned upside down when her daughter Praxie was told she would never walk again. Faced with the traumatic circumstances of her daughter’s condition, Osong draws comparisons between her daughter and her war-ravaged country of origin, Cameroon. Detailing the events in Cameroon and the struggles of its people trapped in decades of tyranny, Osong interweaves the history of a war-torn country with threads of a personal conflict.

Emma’s goal is to create a world where women, men, and children all have the right to live dignified life.
