This memoir provides an unprecedented, first-person account of a highly publicized event, offering a unique perspective rooted in trauma, spiritual belief, and perceived divine purpose.

DALLAS, TX – April 03, 2026 – Portia Odufuwa, publicly known for her involvement in the 2022 Dallas Love Field Airport shooting, is set to release her debut memoir, The Unexpected Calling. This powerful book offers her unfiltered account of trauma, resilience, and profound spiritual conviction, stepping beyond media headlines and public perception to present her life story as she experienced it. Odufuwa invites readers to understand the extraordinary journey that shaped her choices and the unique calling that transformed her life.
In The Unexpected Calling, Odufuwa traces her life from childhood sexual abuse and single motherhood to a corporate healthcare career and intense spiritual awakenings. She shares intimate details, from waking handcuffed in a hospital bed with bullets still in her body, to her belief that she was divinely called to intervene regarding world-renowned artist Chris Brown. The memoir chronicles experiences she interpreted as divine warnings, premonitions, and prophetic visions, all leading to the pivotal decisions that culminated in the airport incident.
This deeply personal narrative aims not to persuade but to reveal Odufuwa’s chronological journey through hardship, faith, and personal struggle, allowing readers to draw their own conclusions. It connects life events, from early trauma to the life-altering consequences of her calling, offering a raw and honest look at survival and self-discovery. The Unexpected Calling by Portia Odufuwa will be available on April 5, 2026.
