ABOUT BŪNDUKE
Būnduke is a motivational speaker, musical artist, entrepreneur and philanthropist. Būnduke's music breathes fresh air into the industry. His message is a direct reflection of his life and experiences. He creates an eclectic sound with meaningful words that captivate the audience.
Born as a South Sudanese immigrant to parents who escaped the civil war of Sudan as refugees, Būnduke is no stranger to struggle and adversity. He has exemplified resilience from the moment of his birth. During his birth in Cairo, Egypt, he was too large to come out of his mother's womb and was stuck. There was no time for a C-section operation because he was losing oxygen too fast. The doctors couldn't pull him out and his mother couldn't push him out in time.
He lost all oxygen and was pronounced dead. To save his mother, the doctors had to forcibly remove him and set him to the side. His mother then asked for her son, Būnduke's lifeless body which she began to pray over. Minutes later, by the grace of God, he began to breathe. He is a true miracle-child. Unfortunately, due to the force that was used to pull him out Būnduke suffered what is called a Brachial Plexus Injury. He has permanent nerve damage, bone deformation and muscle atrophy to his right arm. This is an injury that challenges Būnduke every day of his life.
Throughout his life and his time in college, Būnduke faced many challenges but with the guidance of mentors and student resources he was able to beat the odds and achieve his academic and personal goals. With his personal journey and hardships in mind, Būnduke decided to build a program around working with students who are facing similar struggles. He uses his talks and music as a motivational tool to inspire, educate and promote the importance of higher education and achieving your life goals.
