To all those facing daunting circumstances or overwhelmingly tall odds: I am a voice for hope and determination.

Emil Rem, Undaunted

Meet Emil Rem

An eccentric Ismaili Muslim, originally from Tanzania and raised in foster care in England, I live in Canada, where I work as an accountant and write creative nonfiction.

My mission in sharing my stories is to instill hope and inspire people—especially those tackling seemingly impossible endeavours, people who feel like “outsiders” and people from disenfranchised and underprivileged backgrounds—to choose action, resilience, hope, and determination for overcoming even the tallest of odds… undaunted.

Books

With wry, sharp-eyed humor, this collection of brilliantly interwoven short stories shows how ghosts from the past—in Rem’s case, a toxic mother, years in foster care, bankruptcy, and the immigrant experience—leave an indelible imprint on the future.

Each of Chasing Aprhodite’s seemingly lightheaded travel adventures provides a vivid backdrop for reflection on a bittersweet childhood split between Tanzania and foster care in Englandand leaves readers to ponder the fine line between life’s smallest moments, and destiny.
