              ‘Best Advice Ever Received: A Mentoring Guide For Young Minds And Those Who Nurture Them,” (https://www.bmanadvocacy.org/best-advice-ever-received-pre-order-form/) is an empowering and extraordinary literary work and global mentoring resource masterfully crafted by Mr. Ola Akinwe, the Founder of the Boys Mentoring Advocacy Network and Nigeria’s National Coordinator for International Men’s Day and World Day of the Boy Child.  He puts into practice the instructive African proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child.”    Mr. Akinwe clearly understands that our children are more than mere reflections of ourselves – they represent the “Next Generation Of Leaders” – the village’s future.  He called upon the village to raise its children – the “Next Generation of Leaders” --  by positively shaping their minds and souls.  Thirty-two souls from diverse professional backgrounds heeded his call by collectively donning the mantle of Village Elder and sharing  the wise counsel they received from their Elders and Mentors with the global  village’s children through “Best Advice Ever Received:  A Mentoring Guide For Young Minds And Those Who Nurture Them”.    Imparting wise counsel to a young soul is, in fact, “raising the child”.   Powerful life lessons about patience, diligence,  learning from criticism, investing one’s time wisely, self-reliance, and the power of choices penned by thirty-two Village Elders assembled by Mr. Akinwe await young readers of “Best Advice Ever Received:  A Mentoring Guide For Young Minds And Those Who Nurture Them”. Parents, educators, school administrators, health care professionals and providers, social services professionals and providers, community members, and mentors throughout our global village will find “Best Advice Ever Received: A Mentoring Guide For Young Minds And Those Who Nurture Them” to be a valuable tool in helping the “Next Generation Of Leaders” successfully navigate their journey from childhood to adulthood.   

 

          In many ways and, for many reasons, “Best Advice Ever Received:  A Mentoring Guide For Young Minds And Those Who Nurture Them,” is Africa’s gift to the world.
