Overview

MY VOICE, MY STORY is a powerful and deeply moving testimony of a 13-year-old girl growing up in Manyu Division in Cameroon. Told with innocence, honesty, and remarkable courage, this memoir opens a rare window into the daily realities, hidden struggles, and resilience of a young girl determined to rise above the limitations of her environment. Discovered after delivering a heartfelt thank-you speech to German families 1000s of miles away, she steps forward to share her personal journey-one shaped by determination, hope, and an unwavering desire to learn and be heard. In her own words, she recounts life in a small rural community: the challenges of schooling, the expectations placed on young girls, moments of joy, moments of fear, and the quiet persistence that keeps her moving forward. More than just her life story, MY VOICE, MY STORY amplifies the experiences of countless young girls across Manyu-and Africa-whose voices are too often silenced. Shalom uses her voice to summarise their stories as told in her own voice "" I am writing this book to tell my story-not just for myself, but for many girls like me who have a voice but do not always get the chance to speak."" Through her reflections, readers experience the cultural rhythms of village life, the warmth of community, and the harsh realities that young girls must navigate in their quest for education, safety, and self-expression. Authentic, inspiring, and unforgettable, this book stands as both a personal memoir and a call to listen to the next generation of African girls-because when a young girl finds her voice, she can change her world.
