Publisher Description

Growing up in Ottawa’s West End—a neighborhood marked by gangs and criminal activity—Ronny Musikitele was faced with a cultural shock. Moving into his new neighborhood, he found the outside world filled with gang activities, fights, and the symbolism of red representing the Bloods. His parents created a suburban-like environment at home, but outside, the challenges were stark. As a young, French speaking boy, Ronny discovered the bridge that would allow him to integrate, make friends, and learn the local language—sports. Witnessing the unifying power of basketball through pick-up games, the boys and girls club, and even video games, Ronny quickly recognized its ability to unite the community, sparking his enduring love for the game.

But as he stood at the crossroads after high school graduation, faced with the pull of a life of crime that his friends were embracing, Ronny made a life-altering choice. Against the odds, he turned away from the streets and set his sights on a different path—one that would be defined by his unwavering determination and his love for sports management.

Not Yet: A Memoir of Redemption, Sports, and Chasing Dreams is an inspiring coming-of-age story about the focus and faith it takes to rise out of hardship. Ronny navigated adversity, overcame mistreatment in the school system, and conquered his doubt and fear to chase his dreams. From coaching to basketball journalism and marketing, Ronny chased his love of sports into a phenomenal career and an empowered life.

Embrace the universal language of sports and be empowered to dream big, shape your own destiny, and become an inspiration to the generations that follow. This is a story of triumph, mentorship, and the limitless possibilities that await those who dare to believe. With the unwavering support of his amazing mother and his own unbreakable spirit, Ronny’s journey is a testament to the power of choices and the incredible impact of following one’s passion.
