In this heartfelt narrative, Rey Ayalew unpacks some of her most intimate experiences as a means to not only learn from her journey but also as a way to explore the interconnectedness of her story and her mother's. Ayalew writes, "I want to understand if and how my life somehow mimics yours, mama. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I am my mother. Even more, maybe I want to be". I Am Not My Mother exists to encourage it's readers to explore the depths of their own personal experiences and make use of the realizations.
