THE WALK is a story about Dr. Appolo Tiam, who was born in a village called Ndienbou in Cameroon. He grew up in poverty with many siblings, a loving and caring mother, and a strict father. Despite the challenges he faced, Dr. Tiam persevered and became a doctor, helping to fight against the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The Walk is a journey through his life, revealing how his experiences and struggles shaped him into the person he is today. Dr. Tiam is the epitome of overcoming obstacles and growing from a boy into a successful man who helps others regardless of their social background, race, religious beliefs, and economic status. The Walk is about how Dr. Tiam created his own lane, overcame the odds, broke barriers, and embarked on a journey to achieve his dreams and aspirations. One thing Dr. Tiam highlights in The Walk is that if you find yourself in a situation where you feel hopeless and that no one cares, remember no one loves you more than you love yourself; remember that though times may be tough -crying, sadness, laughter, and joy are all a part of the process and stepping into your purpose. The Walk will give you the courage to face what seems impossible and the courage to walk toward new experiences so you, too, can become all you were called to be.
