Kemi Nelson has lived a life that can only be described as remarkable. She has faced tragic family losses and endured the overwhelming pain of grief. She has weathered the heartbreak of not one, but two cheating spouses who struggled with sexual addiction. At times, her faith wavered, and she even longed for the peace of heaven to escape her struggles. But through it all, Kemi’s life has been a testament to resilience, intelligence, and unwavering love.

As the first female electrical engineer to graduate with top honors from her university, Kemi has always been a trailblazer. She went on to earn a master’s degree and recently completed her doctorate coursework, further cementing her status as a high achiever. An immigrant who is now a proud US citizen, Kemi has established herself as a leader in the business world, a strategic thinker, and a visionary. Her leadership extends beyond the corporate world, as she actively empowers her church and community, raising others to be champions just as she has done in her own life.

Kemi is also a devoted mother to Favour and Praise, both of whom are published authors themselves. Rising Tall is Kemi’s first literary work, and it comes from a place of deep reflection and immense gratitude. She dedicates her time and energy to ensuring that the next generation is equipped to rise tall in all they do.
