Circles of Woven Memories is a powerful and profoundly moving journey across continents, cultures, and the delicate borders of belonging. Told with honesty, warmth, and unflinching clarity, this extraordinary narrative follows Nebeyu—an Ethiopian refugee whose life is reshaped by political upheaval, forced displacement, and a destiny shaped by both choice and circumstance. What begins as an escape from a military dictatorship evolves into a lifelong odyssey through Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean. Nebeyu's path unfolds through a tapestry of accidents and opportunities, dangers and discoveries, moments of despair intertwined with flashes of hope. In each new place, he learns to rebuild his life—acquiring new languages, navigating unfamiliar customs, and carving out a sense of home wherever he lands. His story reveals the quiet courage required to adapt, endure, and ultimately thrive in worlds often unprepared for his arrival. Spanning more than four decades, Nebeyu's journey traverses refugee experiences, competitive job markets, and the halls of international organizations. His story touches on some of the most pressing themes of our time: migration, identity, resilience, and the complexities of multicultural life. His work with development agencies, trade unions, and global institutions reflects a lifelong commitment to social progress across Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean. Simultaneously, he builds a multicultural family, raising "third-culture" children who embody the richness and diversity of his global odyssey. Through these vivid and compelling stories, Circles of Woven Memories transcends traditional memoir. It stands as a tribute to those who cross borders—geographical, cultural, and emotional—in pursuit of dignity and possibility. It reminds us that behind every migration statistic lies a human story—one filled with struggle, humour, vulnerability, and triumph. The narrative invites reflection on the memories that shape us, the identities we carry, and the invisible threads that connect one life to another. Nebeyu's voice is thoughtful, introspective, and deeply humane. His reflections challenge us to embrace difference, honour resilience, and recognize the profound value inherent in every lived experience. Whether confronting discrimination, navigating perilous landscapes, or building bridges across cultures, his story shines a light on the remarkable endurance of the human spirit. Moving, inspiring, and eye-opening, Circles of Woven Memories is a must-read for those who cherish authentic stories of courage; believe in the transformative power of diversity; and understand that every life—no matter how disrupted or displaced—can become a vibrant tapestry woven with meaning, purpose, and hope.
