My fourth book, Beyond Conscious Self, has just rolled off of the press and onto the sale block, ready for your eyes.
The book shares two pivotal and inspiring stories in my midlife. The first story explains how and why I became a writer, which I credit to my membership in the Friends of the San Diego Public Library
The second story is a travel log to the Greek Islands where my endurance was tested to the limit. I had to trust my instincts and press forward even when things turned difficult, especially when self-doubt and fear took hold. By choosing to believe in myself, I discovered we are truly never alone if only we could dig deep within ourselves and then accept the help the universe offers.
Life is not about what scares you; it’s about embracing the possibilities.

Born and raised in Kenya when it was a British colony, Wanjiru Warama is an author who writes nonfiction books that inform and entertain. She moved to California, USA, in 1984, where she still resides. Her latest book, Beyond Conscious Self, published in November 2020.
When Ms. Warama arrived in California, she went through unforgettable rigors and tribulations of having to start her life all over in a new culture. She scrambled and fought off defeat before she got a foothold in her adopted country. This became the basis of her first two books, Unexpected America and Entangled in America.
She believes the books will avail readers a peek at a different perspective of the lives led by their immigrant neighbors and/or friends. The books will also help not-yet-established immigrants realize they are not alone in their struggles, and that their challenges are only temporary.
Her third book of short stories, YEARS of SHAME, highlights the marginalization and subjugation of women from infancy to old age. It especially details the despicable practice of Female Genital Mutilation and its psychological effects on a victim.
Her latest book, Beyond Conscious Self, shares two timely, life-changing, and inspiring stories in the life of Author Wanjiru Warama’s journey from a woman who aspired to do great things to a woman who proved to herself that aspiration wasn’t a destination but a journey worth taking.
