I wasn’t invited. I showed up anyway.

This is the story of growing up in a refugee camp, coming to America, failing, rebuilding, working night shifts, and learning to show up in rooms where no one expected me.

It is raw, honest, and written for people who know what it feels like to start with nothing and build anyway.

Every copy ordered through this store is hand-signed. It’s my way of connecting with you directly and committing to our shared journey of showing up anyway, no matter the obstacles.
