Meet my mother
press release
November 24, 2025
"A mother's love is peace. It isn't just a memory it lives on, forever etched our hearts."
Devoted author, Dr. John Ayoola Akinyemi, introduces his new biography Meet My Mother: Portrait of My Quintessential Consumate Mother, delivering heartfelt stories to remind us what a good influence a mother can be. They are the actual superheroes you see everyday. With love that deserves to be honored across cultures and generations. Published by The Eagle Literary, Dr. Akinyemi honors the memory of his late mother and reflects on how she was his first teacher and thanking her for being his lifelong guide to become what he became today.
“Quintessential” is not just some big word, it means “one of a kind”, like our mothers. She whose place no one else can take because you can’t have another loving and caring mother like yours. Told in a warm, storytelling voice, Meet My Mother explores what it means to be a quintessential mother a title the author bestows upon his own mother, whose steadfast faith, calming presence, and boundless love shaped the lives of her nine adult children. Drawing parallels between his mother’s life and timeless biblical stories, Dr. Akinyemi reflects on the power of prayer, the importance of spoken words, and the ability to find stillness amidst life’s storms.
Dr. Akinyemi recalls the family devotions from his childhood in Nigeria, where they read about Jesus calming the sea during a violent storm. Like Jesus, his mother modeled faith and peace, always reminding her children, “Have you prayed about it?” and affirming, “Be still, and know that I am God.”
This memoir is not just a story about one woman it is a tribute to all mothers: those who give more than they have, who love without limits, and whose job is never truly done. Dr. Akinyemi honors mothers of every race, religion, and background, reminding readers that regardless of who we are or where we come from, we were all brought into the world through the sacrificial love of a woman.
Akinyemi’s message is simple but powerful: we can never repay enough money we owe to mothers. This book is his offering of gratitude not only to his own mother but to all mothers around the world.

“A Hero at 13: Courage, Compassion, and the Ultimate Act of Bravery”
This 13-year-old literally placed his body on a six-year-old, who was yelling, crying, for fear that he might be shot dead. The two of them were about an arm’s foot apart, under a pew as their shelter. Luckily, neither of them was killed that day.
What struck me most, and what I would like to emphasize about this video are the following:
- 1. When asked whether he, the thirteen-year-old knew he had been shot, and what went through his head the moment he realized this he said at first he didn't really know; that when he raised the clothing he had worn, that was when he saw blood, and realized he had been shot.
- 2. When asked why he placed his body to defend and make sure the six-year-old boy was ok, he said that he realized the six-year-old was much younger than he: he was screaming, yelling at the top of his voice and he, the thirteen-year old felt obligated, perhaps compelled to help this poor six-year-old; that if he were in his situation, crying for help, other older people than he, would do the same thing for him. That's when tears rolled down my face as I watched the CNN presentation that day.
- 3. Per my observation, as I watched this episode, I recall the interview asking this boy if he recalled what happened next. The thirteen-year-old said that the Ambulance came; that he was rushed into the Emergency Room.
- 4. The Interviewer said something like this: "I hear you said something to the Doctor, before the surgery; do you remember what you said, and do you mind sharing it with me? The thirteen-year-old said that he asked the doctor to pray with him first! And he did! I lost it; I was tearing up again as I marveled at this boy's upbringing by his parents! What a hero! The world needs people like thus thirteen-year old and his parents.
- 5. I recall the CNN anchor, Andersen Cooper saying something like this: that he understood that the thirteen year-old got a letter from the mother of the six-year-old: what is that about? The mother of the thirteen-year-old, who was sitting next to her son during this interview chimed in, saying that they, (she and her husband) got a letter from the mother of the six-year-old thanking them and my son for saving the life of their six-year-old son!
My emotions at that time were a standing ovation for what is unfolding right before my face as I watched this clip. That’s what I call “GRATITUDE” That’s what I would like to share with the world; the example of this heroic thirteen-year-old; his bravery his giving-all he is and all he has, at that moment, even at the risk of losing his own life! What a hero, he is! As I watched this clip on the TV, I recalled that the Bible says: “In ALL things, give thanks (to God)! ALL THINGS, AND ALL TIMES mean in chaos, in troubled times, and in EVERY SITUATION that we find ourselves. The incident was a shocking remembrance that we live in troubled times. “We, the People”, should NEVER worry that our precious little ones would kiss us goodbye when they leave for school in the morning, BUT MAY NOT RETURN TO US, because of the insane mind of people like the gunman who shot and killed, reportedly a number of innocent school children on that day. To make it worse, the incident took place inside a Catholic Church in MN. THINK ABOUT THAT: LET IT SINK IN FOR A MOMENT. WHERE ELSE IS SAFE? WE ARE LIVING IN VERY TROUBLED TIMES, FOLKS!
I believe that the example of the heroism, bravery, valor, and empathy shown by this thirteen-year-old is a prime example what ALL PEOPLE should emulate. This thirteen-year-old is worthy of our highest esteem and accolades.
KUDOS TO HIM AND HIS FAMILY FOR RAISING HIM THE RIGHT WAY.
I STAND AT HIGH ATTENTION TO SALUTE HIM AND HIS FAMILY.

Dr. Shelton is a lifelong advocate for the recognition of the American Slave Nation who presents a compelling and deeply researched narrative exploring the distinct cultural identity of the descendants of American slaves. He argues that these descendants represent a unique cultural group, separate from the broader African American designation, and that their specific history deserves acknowledgment and respect.
For hundreds of years, American slaves have had to deal with this constant misidentification. At its core, we invite you all to reconsider how cultural and historical recognition can contribute to a more inclusive society.
“Let’s reclaim the true identity of the American Slave Nation,” says Dr. Shelton. “Our story deserves to be told with accuracy, dignity, and pride.”
This book isn’t a political argument; it’s a message to reexamine how the story of the American slave has been passed down through generations. Dr. Shelton also shares his perspective on President Donald J. Trump, crediting him for recognizing and speaking to issues affecting the descendants of American slaves. The author portrays President Trump as a leader who encouraged honest discussion and challenged conventional narratives surrounding race and equality in America.
“President Trump’s approach inspired renewed attention to fairness and truth for all Americans,” Shelton adds.
Both timely and thought-provoking, the book serves as a call to rediscover the foundation of cultural identity and to engage in honest discussion about how history shapes the future.

'I Am Scared, VERY SCARED!' by Dr. John Ayoola Akinyemi
press release
October 18, 2024
"We, the People" have the power and the choice to make democracy work in the greatest nation on Planet Earth.
BALTIMORE, MD, UNITED STATES, — In his recent discussion on the principles of governance and democracy, Dr. John Ayoola Akinyemi passionately addressed skepticism regarding his qualifications to speak on U.S. governance. “You may question my experience in government and the legitimacy of my perspective,” he remarked, emphasizing the validity of his insights as a seasoned observer of democracy. “To answer your last question first, it’s a BIG deal to me.”
At 82 years old, Dr. Akinyemi has devoted his life to witnessing the evolution of democracy in the United States, from the presidency of John F. Kennedy in 1963 to Joe Biden in 2024. His extensive experience spans decades, providing another point of view from which he views American politics. “I may not have formal experience in government, but I certainly know how to recognize a good government,” he asserted, noting his 25 years of service in the U.S. military as a civilian, not as a uniformed officer.
I Am Scared! Very Scared!
Dr. Akinyemi spent the first 18 years of his life under British monarchy rule. This experience, he claims, has further informed his appreciation and understanding of democratic principles and practices. “Living in a democracy has been an enlightening journey,” he stated, “and I know that democracy works because I have lived under different forms of governance.”
His reflections on governance are intricately tied to his latest publication, “I Am Scared! Very Scared!” In this book, Dr. Akinyemi discusses how fear and empowerment affect politics. He shares personal stories and looks at history to show why democratic values are strong and important. His goal is to motivate readers to get involved in their government and understand that their voices can help shape the future.
Dr. Akinyemi’s perspective serves as a reminder that the essence of democracy is not solely found in government positions but in the lived experiences and voices of citizens. As he shares his thoughts in his work and talks, he encourages everyone to understand that anyone can help govern a country, no matter their background or job title.

Noel-Anne Brennan’s Gripping Tale Explores Themes of Survival and Unity in a Transformed World
WAKEFIELD SOUTH KINGSTOWN, RI, UNITED STATES, — In her latest novel Tiger Lily, author Noel-Anne Brennan delves into the complexities of family, identity, and the ethical quagmire posed by genetic mutations in an alternate modern America. At the heart of this gripping narrative is Lily Mossberg, a seemingly ordinary anthropology lecturer who possesses an extraordinary secret: to be able to transform into a tiger. This ability is due to a sudden rash of genetic mutations, a “psi plague”, of which shape-shifting is a rare and virtually unstudied variant.
Brennan weaves a compelling story where Lily’s struggles are increased by the ambitions of her ex-husband, a powerful head of a pharmaceutical company who is ignorant of her ability. As he seeks ways on making money off the new psi “disease”, he also pursues custody of their apparently normal nine-year-old daughter, putting Lily into a conflict that extends beyond personal grievances and into the realm of corporate greed.

The novel opens with a shocking event: the patriarch of a New Orleans crime family meets a grisly fate at the hands of a Chanas Indian chief during a savage duel along the banks of the Mississippi River. Seventy-five years later, that patriarch’s direct descendant, William Laveaux, known as the Prince, launches an unrelenting quest for revenge against Chief Running Wolf and his grandson, Billy Cross.
Flow Like A River
William and his gang descend upon Gary, Texas, a quiet hill country town that soon finds itself engulfed in violence as they leave a trail of murder and arson in their wake.

When he overhears a local doctor’s son recounting a chance encounter with the Prince, Bud’s instincts kick in, setting off a frantic manhunt to protect his town from the impending chaos.
Sacred River explores more than just the clash between the crime lord and the hardworking townsfolk; it delves into the deep spirituality of both the Native American culture that once inhabited the land and the resilient spirit of the community now facing annihilation. Through vivid storytelling and complex characters, Mark Guillerman masterfully captures themes of legacy, revenge, and the quest for justice in a world where the past continues to haunt the present.
This novel invites readers to reflect on the history that shaped the land and the people who inhabit it, asking profound questions about the nature of vengeance, the importance of cultural heritage, and the enduring spirit of those who came before us.
