 le Adewale answers difficult questions about the process and journey to suc
 cess for the ordinary man in a world increasingly political\, where gatekee
 pers\, money and connections seem to be the thoroughfare to dreams and acco
 mplishment.\n\nÀTÚNBÍ serves as a guide\, a light through the story of the 
 author’s process\, the author’s reconnection to his childhood fascination w
 ith colors\, designs and patterns. How through the darkness of despair and 
 the mire of incessant abuse in a domestic climate of polygamous rancor and 
 poverty\, Kunle found a shimmering light of hope through sheer determinatio
 n\, courage\, persistence\, endurance\, and by playing deaf to the voices o
 f doubt.\n\nKunle is today a renowned Artist in Health and well-being. His 
 project in Nigeria\, Art in Medicine\, has found a nexus of disciplines in 
 order to provide hope\, succor\, refreshment and expression to health and p
 hysically challenged persons in hospitals and health centers. The second of
  August was earmarked as Kunle Adewale Day in honor of his selfless passion
  and development work in Nigeria\, the US and around the globe.\n\nThe answ
 er\, from ÀTÚNBÍ\, is the same age-long wisdom today’s generation has been 
 “trained” to ignore. Because while everybody sought avenues to earn the hig
 hest pay\, Kunle sought a space where he could be of the most valuable serv
 ice\, regardless of material compensation. And it is in that path of genuin
 e service that every other thing took shape. ÀTÚNBÍ makes it clear that the
  process is not for the fainthearted\, neither for those seeking the easy w
 ay out. Instead\, it shows another way\; a way that not only requires one t
 o trust and respect the process but a way that shows a gleaming end that fa
 ith in the process guarantees.
