How did you become a sister? This is an overarching question that many people ask me. Behind becoming a sister is an amazing story.


Everyone in the world has a unique story. This book narrates the unique story of my life and the origins of my desire to become a sister.


My story started in Lirembe village in Kenya and continued on as I ventured to the new land of the United States of America for studies and work. In the book, I describe the places, people, religion, and events that shaped my social, religious, moral, and ethical perspectives.


This description intends to capture readers’ imaginations, emotions, and feelings about the origins of some of the African women religious, clergy, and brothers and, by extension, many people worldwide who resonate with my story. The thick description also illustrates what it means to be formed into and become a religious African woman living in Africa and abroad and how international students navigate their lives in US colleges and workplaces.


The book also compares and contrasts the African and American cultures, underscoring the nuances, dynamics, resonances, and consonances between the two cultures.


This is a Thanksgiving book.
