Raising All Boats

Victor Edozien arrived at New York’s JFK Airport when he was eighteen years old with a hundred dollars in his pocket and one friend in America. Against the odds, the young Nigerian-American would rise from an eager prospective student with no transcripts and no money to a thriving entrepreneur leading companies with combined annual revenues of over $500 million. Faith, hope, and an unshakeable work ethic played key roles in Edozien’s trajectory—and so did the occasional kindness of strangers. Today he repays that benevolence with a greater-good philosophy that honors his uniquely American journey Raising All Boats is the uplifting and patriotic memoir of a self-made businessman with an unwavering commitment to entrepreneurship that puts people over profits.
