Description
From the celebrated poet, speaker, and educator comes a powerful blueprint for healing by building a home within yourself.In her debut book of inspiration, poet Najwa Zebian shares her revolutionary concept of home--the place of safety where you can embrace your vulnerability and discover your self-worth. It's the place where your soul feels like it belongs, where you are loved for who you are. Too many of us build our homes in other people in the hope that they will deem us worthy of being welcomed inside, and then we feel abandoned and empty when those people leave. Building your home inside yourself--and never experiencing inner homelessness again--begins here.InWelcome 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. The powerful metaphor of home provides a structure for personal transformation as she shows you how to construct the following rooms: Self-Love, Forgiveness, Compassion, Clarity, Surrender, and The Dream Garden. With practical tools and prompts for self-understanding, she shows you how to build each room in your house, which form a firm basis for your self-worth, sense of belonging, and happiness.Written with her trademark power, candor, and warmth,Welcome Homeis an answer to the pain we all experience when we don't feel at peace with ourselves. Every human deserves their own home.Welcome Homeprovides the life-changing tools for building that inner space of healing and solace.
About the Author
Najwa Zebian is a Lebanese-Canadian activist, author, speaker, and educator. Her passion for language emerged at a young age as she delved into Arabic poetry and novels. When she arrived in Canada at sixteen, she felt unstable and adrift in an unfamiliar place. Nevertheless, she completed her education and went on to become a teacher as well as a doctoral candidate in educational leadership. Her first students, a group of young refugees, led her back to her original calling: writing. She began to heal her younger self by writing to heal her students. Since self-publishing her first collection of poetry in 2016, Najwa has become an inspiration to millions of people worldwide and a trailblazing voice for women everywhere. Drawing on her own experiences of displacement, discrimination, and abuse, Najwa uses her words to encourage others to build a home within themselves-to live, love, and create fearlessly.
