TK grew up an exile in his own home country of Rhodesia. Under white minority rule, Black people weren’t allowed in certain schools or movie theaters and it could even be dangerous to be out after dark. When Robert Mugabe came to power with promises of freedom and equality, it was cause for celebration nation-wide. But the peace and freedom he promised turned into a dangerous and corrupt system. To find safety, TK would need to give up his successful law career and start over, in a brand new country, in a brand new life.
