DID YOU EVER WONDER IF THE STORY

“COMING TO AMERICA” WAS TRUE?

This is a Cinderella story about an African Princess. Only, this is not a fairy tale but a true story. Fumi grew up in the Western Region of Nigeria, West Africa as an African Princess. Her grandfather, Odundun Ogunleye ruled the people in peace and harmony. As a young princess being groomed to one day take up her responsibility in the royal household, that is, to help her kingdom, Emure Kingdom, she had other dreams of also becoming a prolific and celebrated writer both in the literary world and in the movies. Her dreams to one day write books, create innovative mental health solutions and make name for herself outside of royalty, was the driving force behind her agreeing to her father’s demands to come to America to further her post-graduate studies at the age of 17.

International Awards

Dr. Hancock with her love for the literary arts and behavioral health sciences, as her area of expertise, she has managed to strike a balance between the two, through her TV /Radio shows, documentaries, feature films, books, and her mental health-wellness presentations. To date, she has written over 11 books, 4 of which have become bestsellers and on the heels of releasing other books in the personal & success development arena. Her recent book, Your Vision Torch has been received by organizations, ministries, and colleges, in Africa, USA, Pakistan and other countries as a success strategy tool. When she is not writing or making movies, she is a sought after International Public Speaker, (indoctrinated into the National Speakers’ Bureau & Women’s Speakers Bureau-USA), with interesting topics ranging from mental health, wellness, self-help development, personal & success growth & success. She has been invited to train traditional and political leaders in Africa on Innovative Leadership as well as be a note speaker in African Universities during their convocation ceremonies. Her doctorate dissertation, using mobile application as an adjunct in treating patients’ with anorexia nervosa earned her an invitation to speak at the Sigma Theta Tau International Convention.

One thing her father did not bank on was that Dr. Hancock (Princess Fumi Stephanie) would later on decide to stay behind in America, fend for herself and live a simple life amongst Americans. Now, almost 30 years; she realizes the importance of her royal blood, the responsibilities and the obligations she must face on a daily basis to help her people in Emure Kingdom. A few years ago, with the advent of the reigning King- His Royal Majesty- Emmanuel Adebayo, she finally discloses her royal status to her American friends and now shuttles between the kingdom and her home in USA to bridge the gap between both worlds. 2010 when the King visited her at her US residence, it marked a pivotal moment as the capital of the Kingdom was named a sister city to Spring Hill, TN, a TN suburb where the princess has also called home for years. This marked a new era for Princess Fumi and the saga continues….

Some say she is a Social Changer; others say a Transformation Catalyst seeking to extend the hand & heart of social justice, and many call her a Story weaver who strives to bridge the gap between Africa and America.
