A Heartfelt and Powerful Book To The Dreamer In Every Student
About The Book
From the streets of Ikorodu, Lagos, to a college in the United States, Dear Sojourner traces Ruth Olujobi’s remarkable and transformative journey across continents and through college.

Dear Sojourner shows students how they can navigate the layered experiences of college: balancing academics, building meaningful friendships, dealing with failure, loss, and homesickness, chasing big dreams, maximizing opportunities, and growing financially, personally, and spiritually.
