Author of Africa's Child

Maria Nambhu is the author of Africa’s Child, a poignant new memoir exploring the power of the human spirit. Overcoming odds, Maria Nambhu, then "Mary," grew up in an African orphanage for mixed-race children. She determined the best way to love and take care of herself was to get a formal education. Dance, she discovered, brought her joy as she wrestled with her identity and sought hope for her future.
