From Malawi to Manhattan, Ndondwa Chimtedza learns that migration is more than movement—it’s metamorphosis. Each act of the book unfolds another layer of becoming: ambition, loss, and the long return to self.
From Malawi to Manhattan, Ndondwa Chimtedza learns that migration is more than movement—it’s metamorphosis. Each act of the book unfolds another layer of becoming: ambition, loss, and the long return to self.
When Ndondwa, a brilliant young Malawian woman, earns her place at the United Nations in New York, she believes she has finally arrived — that the world is open to those who work hard and dream audaciously. But in boardrooms built on hierarchy and hallways lined with glass ceilings, she discovers that race, power, and gender are not just ideas — they are systems, spoken and unspoken, that she must learn to navigate or be swallowed by.
