Michael Bantu-Khoe is the sixth born in a family of twelve, originally from Botswana, Africa. Having lived and studied abroad, Michael today finds himself settled in the United Kingdom. This book details his journey and how he dealt with life's thorniest issues, including losing a loved one during the COVID-19 pandemic, coping with mental health illness, and combating the depressingly persistent impact of racism and discrimination.

In a David-versus-Goliath hostile environment, this book documents a Black man's lived experience in modern-day Britain. Read on as he tells the good, the bad, and the ugly, exposing both the highs and lows through light-hearted humour. Michael's experience sheds light on how Black people often navigate a strange and convoluted social structure, rigid with shady practices that have been fostered since the beginning of slavery. Fighting racism and overcoming giants is no walk in the park. Even Achilles was only as strong as his heel.

Dig in, if you will, to some of his fun(ish) childhood stories that share a lot about the fun side of coming from a large family and struggling with poverty. Meet his family and friends, who played a crucial part in his life. They are the ones to whom this book is dedicated.
