RAKINA, AKA, Adrienne White’s travel memoir takes the reader back to her adolescent search for identity and belonging, resulting in her first trip to Africa at age 15. Having felt like a misfit most of her life, she longs for a place she can call home.

In Nyumbani, Swahili for “home,” the author transports readers across twelve African nations over a 50-year period. The memoir is filled with stories that are humorous, engaging, astounding, and culturally enriching. Readers will be inspired by the author’s journey, her courage, and her resilience during the numerous challenging and teachable moments presented throughout the book.

The author concludes by offering personal reflections on the true essence of home.
