Son of the Congo with A.T. Tshibaka

Imagine being three years old in the heart of the Congo. Your father has just died of cancer. Your mother is left alone to raise five children in a world of poverty, tribal conflict, and political chaos. By every human measure, your future should have been written in hardship and limitation. But that is not the story God wrote for Athanase Kadita Tshibaka—known to friends andcolleagues simply as A.T. In his powerful new memoir, Son of the Congo: A Journey of Tragedy, Triumph, and Transformation, A.T. takes us across six continents and nearly eight decades of an extraordinary life. From near-expulsion as a troubled student to graduating with top honors fromDartmouth and the Tuck School of Business, from surviving coups, wrongful imprisonment, and boardroom battles, to rising as a senior leader at Citigroup overseeing risk across 77 emerging markets, then serving as interim CEO ofOpportunity International. A.T.'s story is not just a rags-to-riches tale, it is also a living testimony of unwavering faith, resilience, and the quiet, miraculous hand of God that turns ashes into beauty. A.T. joins us now to share how a sonof the Congo became a global banking executive, a devoted husband, father, and grandfather as well as friend of ours at the James Wilson Institute—and why he believes every broken beginning can still lead to a divine destination.
