The Blessing Legacy
A Memoir of Africa, a Father's Faith, and a Destiny Fulfilled
"I speak of a true story, my living testimony..." So begin the words of
The Blessing Legacy: A Memoir of Africa, a Father's Faith, and a Destiny
Fulfilled, the tale of a young woman raised in poverty in Ivory Coast,
but bolstered by a father whose faith taught her to dream big and never
say "never." Odile Koudou invites us to walk the village paths where
she was raised, experience the sights, sounds, and real nature of Africa,
and relive the story of a remarkable man who inspired her to become
more than she ever dreamed she could be. With his words whispering
in her spirit, she rose from her humble beginnings to a position of
honor and wealth in America, married into a prominent family, and
now uses her "blessing" to enrich the lives of others. Through her
example, anyone raised in poverty will see that it is possible to "reverse
the curse" and lead a life of extraordinary excellence.
Odile Koudou has several years of experience in the
banking industries. She has worked as a stockbroker, bank
manager, and mortgage banker, and currently she is a real
estate investor. She and her husband are blessed with two
wonderful daughters, Cynthia and Leslie.
