What if you spent forty years navigating the world without knowing you could not fully hear it spiritually?. Chief Tang was born in Cameroon on 1982 with a hearing impairment caused by a childhood accident, so he thought. A condition he would not discover until his parents made it known. In the silence between who he was and who he was becoming, he built an entire life. This is that life, told with complete honesty.

From the political violence of 1980s Cameroon to the boarding schools of Tanzania, from the university streets of London to the pulsing energy of Atlanta and the quiet confinement of a small Maryland town, Tang's journey crosses continents, cultures, and decades. He survives poison ivy that nearly kills him, fall in love in East Africa, makes choices he is not proud of and tells you about them anyway, loses his soulmate to an untimely death, and gets fired from his last job on his own birthday for refusing to betray his convictions during a global pandemic.

Through every loss, every betrayal, every repossession, every dark night, every system that was never designed to work in his favor, Tang holds onto one thing; a vision of greatness that arrived from the deepest part of his own mind and refused to leave. Guided by spiritual awakening, self-education, and the relentless refusal to give up on himself, he slowly builds his way toward the life he was always meant to live.

Journey and triumph to greatness is a memoir for the lost, the overlooked, and the enduring. It is the story of a man who learned the hard way that the greatest war any human being will ever fight is not against the world, it is against the self. And that winning that war, slowly and painfully and magnificently, is what greatness actually looks like.
