Damaris Meo-Gyasi joins the Sheletta Show to talk about her new book "Making My Way: A Story of Grit and Grace,". Damaris shares the origins of her book, her daughter being an inspiration and her collaboration process. They embark on an amazing conversation about overcoming gatekeeping, the gravity of impact we have on one another and challenges they faced moving to Minnesota.
An excerpt from the book’s overview:
“From the crowded streets of São Paulo to the wide, unfamiliar skies of the American Midwest, Damaris Melo-Gyasi has spent her life crossing borders-geographical, cultural, economic, and spiritual. In this gripping and deeply personal memoir, she reveals how a young Brazilian girl with big dreams learned to survive, rebuild, and rise in a world that repeatedly told her she was "too much."
