Overview

Who decided what's normal, and why do we keep obeying? From birth, we're handed a rulebook no one remembers writing, silent laws that dictate how we should live, love, work, believe, and even dream. Who Made the Law? by Miriam Martins is a bold and thought-provoking journey into the invisible systems that shape our lives without our consent. Through powerful storytelling, real-life reflections, and a voice that blends African wisdom with global insight, Miriam questions everything we were told was ""just the way it is."" From gender roles and cultural expectations to faith, success, and identity, she asks the questions many think but few dare to say out loud: Who made the law that a woman's worth is tied to marriage? Who made the law that a man must never cry? Who made the law that immigrants must take the hardest jobs to survive? Who made the law that you must live for others before living for yourself? Each chapter challenges a different ""unwritten law"", those inherited ideas that keep people small, guilty, and afraid to live freely. With honesty and warmth, Miriam helps readers unlearn what no longer serves them and rediscover their power to think, feel, and choose differently. This book isn't about rebellion. It's about awakening, freeing your mind from invisible cages built by culture, tradition, and fear. It's an invitation to question, reflect, and finally step into the life that feels true to your soul. Whether you're an African reader raised on strong traditions, an immigrant navigating two worlds, or simply someone tired of living by other people's expectations, this book will speak to you deeply. It reminds us that freedom begins with awareness, and that the world changes the moment you start asking the right questions. You'll love this book if you're ready to: Break free from cultural and emotional conditioning Find your voice after years of silence Challenge generational patterns that no longer serve you Live authentically, without guilt or fear Reconnect with your purpose and power Every page feels like a mirror, reflecting the quiet struggles we all carry, and the courage it takes to rise above them. If you've ever felt trapped by ""what people will say,"" this book is your permission to live free. Because the first step to freedom isn't running away, it's daring to ask: Who made the law?
