Brooklyn Park, MN – September 03, 2026 – Aderemi Ogunsuyi’s unfiltered memoir, “Living in America: The Story Behind My Story,” examines the lived experience of immigration through the intersections of cultural psychology, identity, faith, and resilience. This book combines introspection, cultural observation, and personal storytelling. This book aims to refute oversimplified accounts of what it means to travel, adjust, and fit in in a new nation.
Ogunsuyi’s writings stand at the intersection of spiritual contemplation, cultural criticism, and memoir. The book reframes the immigrant journey through a broader lens, examining how loneliness, culture shock, discrimination, and financial hardship shape the psychology of someone rebuilding their life from nothing, rather than presenting a typical immigrant success story. The author argues that the internal identity transformation that takes place beneath visas, jobs, and credit scores is the real measure of that journey.
Ogunsuyi’s story is a complex construct shaped by both internal and external systems throughout the book. The book examines how immigrants assimilate new cultural norms while preserving, and occasionally rediscovering, the values of the world they left behind, drawing on his personal experience relocating from Lagos, Nigeria, to the American Midwest. The story challenges readers to consider how resilience, faith, and belonging are negotiated within systems never designed with newcomers in mind.
Writer Aderemi Ogunsuyi is from Lagos, Nigeria. He lives in the US with his wife and daughter. He claims that their love has helped him achieve more than his will alone. He wrote “Living in America” because he wished someone had written it for him when he first arrived in this country, when he was bewildered, overwhelmed, and trying to figure out who he was becoming in a country that expected so much of him.
Anyone who has felt isolated in a large group should read this book. The same goes for those at home who have wondered what the journey is like after saying goodbye at the airport. Living in America ends up optimistic, funny in unexpected places, and honest where it should be
