Charles Umeh takes his readers on an inspiring African journey. The beauty of these stories is their easy to read language  which is more appealing to  the young at heart. #BreakingtheCoconut is the first of its kind: having young people share their ongoing “biographies” on how they helped influence and inspire change in their communities. The idea is to influence and inspire the next game changer to learn from these lessons and act better.
