Verah Omwocha

In her memoir, Mikayi, Verah Omwocha interrogates what it means to be a mother, a wife, a professional, a friend, and a citizen in a society whose needs are constantly changing. How do these roles coalesce to make a person? What makes a person a person? And what if that person is a woman? She asks questions, she seeks grace. She tells it as it is; raw, authentic, and thought-provoking. She explores themes such as: motherhood, marriage, work-life balance, pursuing higher education, parenting, family life, womanhood, among others. As one reader, Florence Nthamba, comments, “Verah gives the world a gift through her rawness, candidness and love for life. This is beautifully written.”
