Workbook
For West African Immigrant Families
A Workbook for Senegalese, Sierra Leonean, Liberian, Ivorian, and Cameroonian Families Navigating Identity Between Two Continents
Your children don't choose between Dakar and Dallas. They understand why you chose both.
For the West African immigrant family navigating transnational obligation, intergenerational identity drift, and the labor of cultural preservation who wants a signed accord for how they hold heritage together.
The Name It First Experience
Your family holds two worlds — the motherland and the one you are building here. This workbook walks the family through transnational obligation, cultural preservation, and intergenerational identity. You produce the Motherland Accord: a signed family document naming what you carry and how. The output is not a bridge. It is an accord.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What is the name of the invisible agreement your family made about what to keep from home — and who decided it?
- When the generations in your household disagree about how to live here, what does each side fear losing?
- What is the Motherland Accord your family needs — the one agreement about identity and belonging that you have not yet put into words?
