Carolyn A. O. Saranga

Briefs, Bruises & Becoming Briefs, Bruises & Becoming is a candid and deeply personal exploration of someonw who survived abduction and saw the need to create awareness on Mental Health across numerous domains in life. Through reflections on femicide, self-empowerment, financial literacy, single parenthood, child custody battles, reconstituted families, boychild inclusivity, relationships, friendships, career development and the pressures of employment, Carolyn Saranga invites readers into conversations we often avoid but urgently need to have. With vulnerability, wit and an unapologetic voice, the memoir examines the experiences of both women and men, particularly the need to empower the girlchild without abandoning the boychild, while creating healthier families, relationships and communities. More than a memoir, Briefs, Bruises & Becoming is an invitation to conversation, reflection and becoming.
