    You Can't Find Your Voice If You've Been Living In Someone Else's

    Before we begin, I need you to know something about me.   I know what it feels like to be silenced. To have something burning inside you and not know if you're allowed to say it. To look at the life ahead of you and feel equal parts excited and terrified.   I've been where you are standing at the edge of everything, not yet sure what I was capable of.   And I can tell you this: everything you've been through, everything you've felt, everything you've quietly carried it was preparing you for something extraordinary. You weren't born to simply survive your life. You were born to shape it.   This little book is my gift to you. It's not about being perfect. It's not about having it all figured out. It's about knowing before the world gets loud and complicated who you are, what you want, and that you have everything it takes to get there.   You are not too young. You are not too much. You are not behind.   You are exactly on time. And you were born for this.   With love, Nadirath F

    Immigration Trauma is real and what to do about it

    I left Benin with my suitcase along with my mother and two young brothers. All for better opportunities and to start over. Nobody educated me on how the system was built especially for new immigrants. I didn't know the US housing market is build on monthly expenses (rents, bills etc). What I saw on the TV growing up wasn’t the whole picture. How heavy a country can feel when it doesn't know your name yet.
