Forthcoming Book

The Ceiling Came With You

Living Beyond What You Were Born Into

A book about the invisible limits we carry from family systems, culture, class, migration, and identity.

It begins with the moment we realise the ceiling is not only around us. It has started living through us.

Through the lens of floors, walls, and ceilings, this book traces how people learn what to expect from themselves, from others, and from the rooms they enter — and what it takes to interrupt the patterns they were never meant to keep.

Thank you for joining the waitlist for The Ceiling Came With You.
