From Home to Here: Raising African Children in a Western World Without Losing Your Values—or Them

Parenting is tough, but raising children in a culture different from your own? That’s an entirely new challenge. As African immigrant parents, we want our children to succeed without losing the values that shaped us—respect, discipline, cultural pride, and strong family ties. But in a world of social media, peer pressure, identity struggles, and shifting societal norms, how do we guide them without losing them?

This book is your roadmap. From Home to Here tackles the struggles African parents face in the West—from navigating cultural clashes and mental health concerns to balancing tradition with modern realities. It provides real-life strategies to help you bridge the gap between the world you grew up in and the one your children are navigating today.

Through personal insights and practical solutions, this guide will help you raise confident, resilient, and culturally grounded children—without fear, guilt, or feeling lost in the process.

Whether you’re struggling with discipline, communication, career expectations, or social influences, this book equips you with the tools to parent with wisdom, love, and understanding.

Your journey as an immigrant parent doesn’t have to be overwhelming. You are not alone—and with the right approach, you can build a future where your children thrive in both worlds.
