Joseph Lekutone, a Maasai tribesman and teacher in Virginia, shares his unique life story. Born in Kenya, he grew up tending cattle and learning survival skills. Unlike many Maasai children, he pursued education, eventually studying in the U.S. and becoming a teacher. His book, 'Facing the Lion', reflects on his life in two cultures and the challenges he faced, symbolized by a childhood encounter with a lion. Lekutone aims to teach children about Maasai culture and inspire them with messages of hope, determination, and courage.
