Have you ever wondered what your purpose in life is? Have you been guided by curiosity or forced by circumstances to face your deepest fears, reexamine who you are, what you want out of life and how to advocate for change? In a series of intimate letters to herself, her ancestors and the earth, author Ife Afriye Kilimanjaro re-examines key moments in her life in search for answers to these and other existential questions, while offering strategies to the reader to guide their own respective journeys. She then draws from her experiences as a grandmother, healer, sociologist, environmentalist and earth steward to offer lessons learned along the way.
