“After believing that anyone can achieve their desired goals in life, it motivated me to pursue my goals and I am still standing.”
He started writing this book (Beating The Odds) in 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown, with belief to help many because it’s for all, regardless of different demographics.
“The book is cross cutting all ages ranging from juveniles to elderly,” Kabaale noted.
