The EmergedBOLD movement is more than a book or an online platform; it’s a testament to the enduring power of the immigrant spirit. At its heart is the remarkable story of Basil L. Dallas, Sr., an 82-year-old Jamaican military veteran and long-time small business owner. His journey from Kingston to Brooklyn is the foundation of this mission, serving as the ultimate social proof for the lessons he shares.
In a world filled with generic business guides, Basil’s memoir/guide, EmergedBOLD, stands apart. It doesn’t rely on academic theory or corporate jargon; it’s rooted in the profound wisdom of a life lived. The book’s narrative follows a classic arc that will resonate with readers: the initial problem of immigrating and navigating a new culture, the struggles of an entrepreneur, and the ultimate transformation into an “emerged bold” individual.
This is a story that builds an emotional connection through universal themes of resilience, family, and purpose. For older immigrants, it speaks to the deep-seated desire to continue contributing and leaving a legacy, overcoming the fear of becoming a burden to their families. For first and second-generation immigrants, it validates their feelings of family obligation and honors the sacrifices of their parents, offering a path to define their own version of success.
The book is the beginning of the journey. It’s the emotional connection that builds trust and establishes Basil as the authentic mentor our community has been waiting for.
