A review by onemorebookpodcast
Frau Müller, die Migrantin: Wie Deutschland und ich uns aneinander gewöhnt haben by Evelyne Waithira Müller

4.0

Evelyn is a fellow Kenyan & someone who has become sort of an Internet friend over the last couple of years. I believe that I first came across her content online & was drawn to it because it was my first time to see someone who looks like me talk about the 'loneliness epidemic' that many migrants are experiencing here in Germany. It’s something we talk about in our family & friendship circles but never online. Maybe because we were raised not to put our business out there in public for all & sundry or maybe because of the fear of judgment by those back home who will not understand that loneliness even exists in these 'lands of milk & honey'.

But in her newly published book, Evelyn who is a trained, certified & practicing Psychologist, not only digs into this loneliness but she also shares about her own experiences of life as an immigrant facing racism, the constant longing to belong, loss & finding new relationships, partnership, motherhood, the hurdles that arise in work environments, language barriers… I could go on & on about all the things that are in this book that I found relatable but let me save that for a future Podcast interview that I hope to do with her soon.

Evelyn, thank you for sharing your(our) story with the world & for making me(us) feel seen. Asante sana!
