Author Information...

Yves BatobaYves Batoba was born in Zaire, a country that no longer exists (kinda)! As a result of a dangerous war, his family fled the country and eventually moved to Texas, where locals believe they are their own country. Growing up in Texas, he fell in love with the sport of football and went on to play at the collegiate level. His love for sports and human development led to an exciting career in college athletics and to the National Football League where his focus has always been to empower athletes to reach their full holistic potential. If he isn’t spending time with his wife or his friends, you can find him working out, listening to his diverse music collection, or explaining to people why his name is pronounced “Eve.” IMMIGRANT AMERICAN: Living an American Life with African Perspectives is the first book written by Yves Batoba.
