Seeing the World Through A Black Woman's Eyes

By Nate Haliv

Born a disappointment. Trafficked as a commodity. Rising as a revolution.

In a rural Nigerian village, Aisha Stephanie Adichie's life is defined by what she lacks: a penis. To her father, she is a "half-child," a missed investment. To her community, she is property. By age sixteen, she is sold into marriage with a man three times her age. By seventeen, she is a widow, a mother, and homeless, cast out for the "crime" of being female.

Desperate to give her son, Obinna, a life beyond poverty, Aisha clings to a lifeline offered by a charming stranger: a job in Italy. A chance to be a computer programmer. A chance to matter.

But the road to Europe is paved with blood. From the suffocating fuel tankers of the Sahara to the deadly waves of the Mediterranean, Aisha endures the unthinkable. She survives the desert that claims her friends and the sea that swallows her son, only to arrive in Naples and discover the devastating truth: there is no job. There is no freedom. There is only a debt of 50,000 and a body she must sell to pay it.

Trapped in a web of voodoo threats and violent exploitation, Aisha has two choices: break under the weight of a world that hates her, or set the whole system on fire.

Seeing the World Through a Black Woman's Eyes is a harrowing, unfiltered odyssey through the darkest corners of modern-day slavery. It is the story of a woman who lost everything: her family, her dignity, her child, but refused to lose her voice.

"A brutal, necessary, and unforgettable testimony of survival against the odds."
