Sinopsis
From the award-winning author of Another Appalachia, an intimate portrait of queer motherhood and mother-loss—with meditations on grief, familial legacies, and selfhood
In Becoming Ammi, author and educator Neema Avashia reflects on a new stage of her life: becoming a parent.
Through short reflective chapters, Avashia weaves together stories of early motherhood as a Desi, queer, Appalachian, and non-gestational parent (a parent who did not physically carry or give birth to the child).
Becoming Ammi is shaped by Avashias real-time reflections written like diary entries—some fully formed, written during the quiet of 3 a.m. feedings, while others are fragmented, scribbled down in the small moments she could carve out each day. Together, the essays culminate into a deeply personal meditation on her transforming sense of self.
Written in three parts, the book explores: Neema’s new relationship with her daughter Questions of integrating her old life into her new one Becoming a mother while losing her own Intimate and candid, Avashias story will speak to anyone who does not feel like they fit into the traditional framework of “parent.”

La Humanidad en crisis
La Supraconciencia es la oportunidad para el cambio
Una invitación a plantearnos la vida que llevamos.
¿Por qué cuando aparentemente tenemos tanto nos sentimos tan vacíos? ¿Qué nos lleva a la soledad justamente cuando vivimos en un mundo hiperconectado? ¿Qué pasa cuando crecemos sin valores espirituales? ¿Por qué el suicidio es la causa número uno de muerte entre los jóvenes? Vivimos más años que nunca, pero cada vez más personas —especialmente jóvenes— sienten que la vida carece de sentido.
