Description

I felt the strong urge to write this book simply because my trauma experienced in my life and observing what trauma has done to my parents have taken on life in my dreams, in acting out, in “life lessons” coming from a broken home, and have given me the insight into my family’s suffering.

Discovering transmission of how trauma from my parents have meant coming to know and tell a narrative, a stubborn narrative that has set the scene to be played out in our lives, with the same script adapted by preceding generations, for future generations growing up in our communities. I am here to disrupt the narrative of the suffering of my people in order for us to use our struggle as a springboard to help realise our worth and value.

In my book I speak what my parents could not. I recognize how their own experience has been authored, how one has been authorized, if unconsciously, to carry their parents, injury into the future. We have taken onboard the injuries of our parents and therefore adapting the same script for our lives.

My book hopefully will help my people rise above the remnants of our ancestral trauma, and in the hope to help heal future generations.
