Center/Power Forward Joel Embiid excels at NBA Basketball. But to do so, he has had to achieve seven dimensions of wellness

Joel Embiid is destined to achiever great things in the NBA.

But, to do so, he must possess three things to achieve great deeds.  The first is the genetics: the physical superiority in that sport – whether strength, height, agility, endurance, or speed. The second is the desire – that raw aching hunger to climb when everything within and without says “rest here”.  The third is that balance that we all seek, that we spend nearly all our lives to find – the seven dimensions of wellness. That is a tall order for someone who has been journeying in the direction of his dream from a very young age.

Cameroon Is Little Africa

The journey of Joel Embiid’s professional basketball career is a journey that few of us could even begin.  This was not something that began after he had exhausted the culture and riches of the beautiful nation of Cameroon.

Cameroon is partially a French-speaking nation, rich in the diverse cultures of some 250 indigenous populations.  Cameroon is called “Little Africa” due to its diverse geography. If you want to explore all of the diversity of Africa, but must choose one nation, choose Cameroon.  There you will find a nation with coastline, mountains, grass plains, forest, rainforests and desert.

If you have the occasion to dine at a Cameroon restaurant, do so with great enthusiasm.  You may find you enjoy the tasted of brochettes- a variation of a kebab, or various soups like Sangah or Peanut Soup, or Suya – marinated beef skewers.  This is just a taste of the rich heritage of Cameroon. It’s just a sliver of the rich culture that is part of Joel Embiid.
