    About this ebook

    Every child deserves and needs some inspiration, precursors, heroes and role-models, preferably from a similar background, that he or she can emulate. This is what this book is trying to offer. A hero is a person admired or idealized for his courage, his service, his excellent achievements or his noble qualities; regardless of race, ethnicity, age, gender, religion, ideology and background. The book features black African heroes, white African heroes, Aboriginal heroes and heroes from the Diaspora, whether they live or have lived in Africa, Oceania, Europe, Asia or America. The book is presented like a research booklet so that the reader can become a key component of the research and writing team.

    Foreword

    The purpose of this book is to inspire children, teens and even adults.

    As a young dad, I needed tools to motivate and guide my children, to instill in them enough confidence, positivity and tenacity. There were hardly any books presenting a large selection of illustrious Africans along with how they changed the world and added value for their community or for humanity as a whole. Lilian Thuram's Mes étoiles noires took a step in that direction and presented the lives of a handful of models and heroes, but I still needed more. I needed a wider selection from all walks of life.

    Whatever a child's dream, it's important to have precursors and role-models that he or she can emulate. This is what this book is trying to offer.
