Oni AdunniOni Adunni is a retired associate college professor whose perseverance enabled her to obtain a master's degree at age sixty-seven and to complete thirteen Los Angeles marathons after the age of fifty. She enjoys craft projects, cultural events, imparing wisdom, and travel. When Oni's husband Abdullar passed away, her son Malik--who was encouraged to travel by his dad--wanted to honor him by writing a children's travel book.
