Building your home inside yourself begins here. Zebian shares her personal story for the first time, from leaving Lebanon at sixteen, to coming of age as a young Muslim woman in Canada, to building a new identity for herself as she learned to speak her truth. After the profound alien­ations she experienced, she learned to establish a stable foundation inside herself, an identity independent of cultural expectations and the influence of others.

With practical tools and prompts for self-understanding, she shows you how to build each room in your house, which form a firm basis for your self-worth, sense of belonging, and happiness. Written with her trademark power, candor, and warmth, Welcome Home is an answer to the pain we all experience when we don't feel at peace with ourselves. Every human deserves their own home.

Without a foundation, you will feel unorganized and chaotic. The foundation is built from two things: self-acceptance and self-awareness. #2 The question begs itself: What makes a home a home. Is it how big it is, how many rooms it has, or where it’s located. The answer is no. It’s the togetherness of those rooms or elements that makes a home a home. #3 The lack of a foundation is what causes the disconnect between your Why and your What.

Without these two fundamental elements, you may be able to build the rooms for your home, but you won’t be able to access them because you won’t believe you are worthy of having them within you.
