Home Is Us

A Story About Hope and Resilience

By: Jackie Ogega

Narrated by: Jackie Ogega

Home Is Us tells the story of my mother’s struggle to protect herself, and her daughters from harm. Our story moves from the shared trauma of violence, through our fight for education, safety, and independence. My family’s songs, prayers, and spoken word have given me a greater awareness of myself, how we survived, and continue to thrive.

Extraordinary !

I loved it!! I listened to the audio version. It was captivating from the first page! I did not want to 'put the book down' and was able to finish it in a day's time. The book is very well written. The songs were amazing! There were so many emotions! I could feel them through her words. I'd recommend it 100 times over!

Amazing story

This is an amazing and inspiring story. It is especially wonderful to hear the singing throughout the book.

Inspiring!

Well narrated. Loved this book...reminded me of experiences that are untold...the things that women and girls go through and have to work extra hard succeed. The realities of those amongst us. Moreso, a reminder that hope lives...we can emerge winners despite our circumstances.

It is worth your time 😊.
