METEORIC: A Memoir Against All Odds
Born with cerebral palsy, trapped in poverty, and facing chronic homelessness, Norberto Orellana's life has been shaped by obstacles and stained by the shadow of adversity. Against all odds, Norberto has defied every expectation, choosing to see the benefit in his circumstances, define his own path, and achieve the American Dream.
In "Meteoric: A Memoir Against All Odds," Norberto shares his incredible journey from an abusive household and the streets of South Florida to becoming a homeowner, father, and husband—all before the age of 30. Ambitious, persistent, decisive, and unbreakable, he refused to let his circumstances dictate his story.
This memoir is an emotional and powerful narrative that not only inspires but also exposes the stark realities faced by many in our society. An acclaimed keynote speaker, resiliency expert, storyteller, and leader, Norberto's story is proof that the American Dream is very much alive, but only for those who dare to rescue their sense of agency and awaken their meteoric power. He shares his rejection of the culture of reliance, dependency, and the blame game that have permeated our politics - a culture he has seen perpetuate the cycle of poverty and conceals the meteoric power of those living in the margins.
This is more than just a memoir; it's a rallying cry for those who feel lost, forgotten, for those who are struggling. "Meteoric: A Memoir Against All Odds" is a beacon of hope for anyone determined to overcome the odds and tap into the meteoric power inherent within them. Norberto Orellana is still just getting started, and his story is one you won't want to miss.
