About Miriam Njoku

Born and raised in Cameroon, she immigrated to Switlzerland as a teenager.
With a background in international political economy, Miriam pursued a diverse career in private banking and international development, before turning her focus to writing first on her blog about family, intergenerational trauma and parentification and later on her coming-of-age memoir.

She now focuses on writing, sharing her story and expertise in intergenerational trauma and empowering others to overcome childhood burdens. She aims to create a space that will invite others to create change in themselves that will impact communities.
