Becoming Gina: A Journey Through Silence, Faith, and the Long Road from Survival to

Some stories are not told in noise. They are carried in silence-until the silence itself becomes unbearable.In Becoming Gina, Jenipher "Gina" Mhlanga returns to the girl they once called maNdeti-the child who sang through everything-and traces the long road from survival to becoming. Born and raised in Zambia and now living in Chicago, she writes with unflinching tenderness about the names she was given, the losses that reshaped her, the houses that were never quite home, and the faith that held when little else did.This is a memoir about generational wounds and the slow, deliberate work of loosening their grip. About grief and motherhood. About the strength passed down through a grandmother's hands-and the courage it takes to choose differently than you were taught. About refusing to disappear, and becoming, again and again, the woman you were always meant to be.Book Two in The Becoming Memoir Series, Becoming Gina is for anyone who has healed in private, prayed through the long night, and dared to believe that wholeness is worth the journey.
