About this item
by Yinka Kuye-Romelus (Author)
The backseat is no place to live...unless it's intentional.
At three years old, Yinka Kuye-Romelus sat in the back seat of a blue Nissan Patrol, unaware that the moment would quietly shape a lifelong relationship with independence, courage, and self-determination. Growing up between continents, cultures, and expectations, she learned an early truth: waiting for rescue isn't a sustainable plan. Direction must be chosen.
Backseat to Driver's Seat is a concise, one-sitting reflection about choosing yourself with intention.
Without hype or hollow motivation, this book explores what changes when you stop outsourcing agency and begin taking responsibility for your own direction.
Inside, you'll find grounded perspective on:
- recognizing when you've been present in your life but not directing it
- reframing fear and setbacks without romanticizing struggle
- building clarity, resilience, and discipline without performance
- making small, internal shifts that create lasting change
- considering what kind of legacy you're actually building
This isn't a manifesto or a promise of anything grand. It's a clear-eyed invitation to take the wheel of life, even when the next step isn't loud or certain.
Rescue may never come. And that's not a loss. It's ownership.
