|
By Vanessa A. Bee
| The Millions Verified
I tend to read the least when I am writing the most.

By Vanessa A. Bee, Sun Tzu, Graham Hancock, Michael Pollan

Bee explores the way we define "home" and "belonging"—from her birth in Yaounde, Cameroon, to her adoption, to experiencing housing insecurity in Europe and her eventual immigration to the US. After her parents' divorce, Vanessa traveled with her mother to Lyon and later to London, eventually settling in Reno, Nevada, as a teenager, right around the financial crisis and the collapse of the housing market.
