@BanyenBooksSoundVancouver joins celebrated poet, speaker, and educator, Najwa Zebian in conversation on her book Welcome Home: A Guide to Building a Home for Your Soul: https://banyen.com/item/rC8Hn_GwKfQjY...

In Welcome Home, Zebian shares her personal story for the first time, powerfully weaving memoir, poetry, and deeply resonant teachings into her storytelling, from leaving Lebanon at sixteen, to coming of age as a young Muslim woman in Canada, to building a new identity for herself as she learned to speak her truth. After the profound alienations she experienced, she learned to build a stable foundation inside herself, an identity independent of cultural expectations and the influence of others. Welcome Home provides life-changing tools for each of us to build that inner space of healing and solace.
