"What does it mean to belong?"
At twelve years old, Ouzo Borges left an orphanage in Egypt for a life that was promised to be better. But the weight of belonging was heavier than he ever expected. From struggling through the rigid corporate world of Australia to navigating his own inner conflicts, The Weight of Belonging is an unfiltered, gripping memoir about resilience, ambition, and the search for identity.
Torn between two worlds-one that raised him and another that never fully accepted him-Ouzo takes readers on an emotional journey through his battles with self-worth, anger, and the endless pursuit of success.
Poignant, raw, and deeply introspective, this book is for anyone who has ever felt like an outsider fighting for their place in the world.
Will he break the cycle or remain trapped in a system that was never built for him?
