Overview

A raw, rhythmic, faith-anchored memoir of ambition, trauma, faith, and the fight to stay alive. What happens when the drive to succeed collides with unhealed wounds, buried trauma, and the weight of expectations? For Okiemute Akpogheneta, the answer was a devastating descent into a mental health crisis that would change his life forever. But Get Rich or Get Sectioned is not a story of defeat. It's a story of redemption, reconnection, and restoration. Told with raw honesty, insight, and a voice that refuses to hide, this fearless, unfiltered memoir blends the rhythm of hip hop and the soul of R&B with the quiet power of faith. Okiemute pulls back the curtain on the moments that shaped him - from a childhood split between continents, to the haunting aftermath of violence, and the emotional storm that led to being sectioned under the Mental Health Act - and takes readers on a journey through identity, pain, family, and the long road back to sanity, guided every step of the way by the God who refused to let him go. A testimony of grace, not perfection.Okiemute writes with a rare blend of vulnerability and strength, inviting readers into the most fragile corners of his life, not for sympathy, but for connection. His story though heart-breaking and deeply human, shows that healing is not instant. It is a process of surrender, gratitude, and choosing life one day at a time. ""I'm of a sane and sober mind today because God met me in the place I thought I'd never return from."" This memoir is more than a recounting of events, it is a witness. A witness to survival. A witness to mercy. A witness to the God who restores. A must-read for anyone who loves faith-anchored memoirs, stories of resilience, mental health battles that end in hope, or needs proof that brokenness can still lead to breakthrough.
