No One Is Coming Gives Care Leavers a Field Guide to What Nobody Explains at Eighteen

Rezul News/10750419
Denry Okpor, who grew up in foster care in London, has written a paperback that pairs lessons from Machiavelli's The Prince with practical guidance for young people leaving care.

LONDON - Rezul -- "Nobody is coming to save you. That also means nobody else gets to decide how your story ends."

That line from Denry Okpor sets the tone for No One Is Coming: What Machiavelli Taught a Boy Raised in Care About Power, Respect and Rebuilding Your Life. The independently published paperback is written for care leavers and young people still in care. It is also for anyone who grew up without a safety net, and for anyone starting again.

Much of the book is practical. A dedicated section, The Care Leaver's Field Guide, covers what nobody tells you at eighteen: how the pathway plan works, what a personal adviser is for, and where bursaries and money fit in. Every chapter closes with Street Rules and Questions to Sit With, and every part ends with a practical challenge. The book also includes the Rules at a Glance and a guide for working through it as a group, so youth workers and mentors can use it in sessions.

Okpor knows the gap first-hand. After losing both of his parents, he came to London as a boy and went into foster care. Later, a mentor at university pointed him towards Machiavelli's The Prince, and it changed how he faced the world. He went on to build businesses, including Sips Nail Spa & Bar, whose Stratford, Mayfair and Croydon venues he designed, built and ran.

The book has seven parts and 33 chapters, and each part opens with a true story from Okpor's life. Its subjects include setting boundaries, earning respect by being firm and fair, understanding money when you grew up with none, and breaking the cycle for the next generation.

No One Is Coming is also intended for the foster carers, social workers, youth workers and mentors who support young people through leaving care.

The paperback (196 pages; ISBN-13 979-8-1402-5446-9) is available on Amazon UK.
