Writer and educator, Kadine Christie, shares her personal story of being an immigrant in the United States and a black mother in mostly white spaces. “I couldn’t stop crying. I couldn’t figure out why I felt stuck and trapped within myself. When I started writing, it was only to process what I was feeling, to tap into the pain I couldn’t name. My tears turned to thoughts and I knew I was on the course of deconstructing everything I knew in order to emotionally heal myself.”
While millions of people in different parts of the world struggle with personal issues, Kadine Christie’s carefully-crafted stories have emerged to help others dig into their pain, name it, and move forward. Kadine Christie lost her father 17 days after her 18th birthday. She buried their secret of fleeting pleasure and longing shame behind the quaking of her chest.
“I am Home Within Myself” has already garnered reviews from readers across the globe.

“Kadine explored so much in her book. It made me recall so many events in my own life and wish I was as brave to release the valve and move forward.” Angelia
