From the celebrated poet, speaker, and educator Najwa Zebian comes a powerful approach to healing focused on building a home within yourself.In her debut book in the self-development space, poet Najwa Zebian shares her revolutionary concept of home to guide readers to embrace their vulnerability, discover their self-worth, and build their own strong foundations from the ground up. In Welcome Home, Najwa shares her own personal story for the first time, powerfully weaving memoir, poetry, and deeply resonant teachings, from leaving war-torn Lebanon for Canada at sixteen, to coming of age as a young Muslim woman in Canada, to sexual harassment that left her alienated from her community, to building a new identity for herself as she learned to speak her truth.She teaches that home is not a physical place, but instead where your soul feels like it belongs, where you are loved for who you are. Every human deserves to own a home within themselves, and Najwa guides you in building this home. She begins by showing how to divide your house into the following rooms: Compassion, Self-Love, Guilt, Forgiveness, Silence, Sadness, Happiness, Confusion, Vulnerability, and Anger. And then, with stories and practical advice, she shows you how to build each room. Welcome Home is ultimately a guide to building that space inside yourself rather than looking outside yourself for that sense of safety and worth. Written with Najwa's trademark power, candor, and warmth, Welcome Home offers a universal approach to healing and solace for those navigating heartbreak, identity, and mental health challenges.
