Life had started off like a fairly tale when a young man was born. It would go on beautiful without him noticing he was being raised by a step mother and a biological father, however, life would make a daunting turn when in a boarding school, rebels in this third world country Uganda would invade the school and take off with some children and lead others to rebellion and war and some to be accompanying comrades.

Upon finishing the war, this young man would come home to once a rich father now living a small hutch kitchen. He would emotionally change and the act of seeing his crying siblings being divided to relatives would leave a scar in his heart.

He would then go on to work in an open market to support himself and his father who was down with depression over losing all the wealth he had accumulated over the years. The world had not been prepared for this young man to face in this kind of environment and so the struggles of raising himself up at the age of 13 would prove to be a disappointment of God’s Grace in his eyes.
However, the will to live, the desire to triumph, the encouraging words of his ailing father who would later be diagnosed with Kaposi Tacoma’s a cancer disease of the skin would insert strength in him thus pushing him to concur the world with all he had and that was courage.

In 1992 after completing his high school, becoming the youngest singer in the country  while working odd jobs, dating a married woman who later become a mentor a guardian and savior to his triumphant journey, Nelson would come to the United States as a Cultural Exchange Specialist with African Cultural Exchange an organization whose goals are to show American and African the beauty of both cultures.

The journey that has spanned 15 years of hard work, several failed marriages, immigration woes, learning experiences and hard work, has brought this once struggling man to what many would call an American Dream. The catch all sad story is his immigration woes that saw him lose his mother, just a year after arriving in the States, the mother of his child, a woman he says was his “Angel”, his Paternal Uncle and his wife over AIDS and his dear Father in 2004 who desperately cried for his coming home  months before his death. The tragic piece brings out how our Leader’s fallacies can bring out the worst of our selves in situations that seem to be un-bearable.

After working for companies like Lowes where he was fired, Target as a receiving crew, Genco Corp. and HAYS/Iron Mountain as a Data Auditor and many more. Nelson became a learning experience to students to which he gives his speeches and performs regularly to help raise funds and awareness that life does not have to be bad because of your background. As this seems a tale to many children from poor or drug addicted backgrounds, Nelson tries to emphasize in his book that your mother might have been a drug addict and your father an abusive but you can learn from those experiences and be a totally different human being. Using his life as an experience, Nelson talks about how factual habits in a home as non-genetic and non- inheritable, “and so one can be different from what his/her parents were.” He says.

The story line that has captured so many before it even gets out winds up the book when Nelson who had thrived in the real estate business, selling lots of homes and helping many achieve the American dream falls to the ground. Along came the haunted story of witchcraft that many people in the Western World believe to be myth. In the book, the explanation of what happened after Nelson decided to help his own folks at home that turned into anger and jealousy opening up a furry of rage from wicked family members who almost ended his life causing him to sleep almost 17 hours a day for three months almost reaching a brink of death, will bring you goose bumps. His savior a median in the Buganda Kingdom would come to his rescue and gradually regains his sense and came back to “life”.

Summing up the story is the last interview of his Citizenship that caused him lots of fear and hate for a system that he thinks favored lots of non-law abiding residents creating a vacuum of those not satisfied with how the system works. He would later become an American citizen and continue to educate, perform and help others as he did before. Constructing a Hospital in Rural Uganda is his goal through his Charity, lijif.org.

Now a student at Prairie View Texas A&M as a Medical-Biology Major student, Nelson wishes to become a scientist to do research and find what lies beneath Cancer Cells in a hospital that is being supported by Donors in Rural Uganda in a small village called Nakaseeta.

He speaks himself of being a giver and moralist and sometimes says he is guilt of over-giving and leaving him with nothing sometimes over takes his family values of keeping everything in family.
