Maria Nhambu was raised by German catholic nuns at an orphanage for mixed race children in Tanzania, East Africa. Dancing Soul Trilogy, her Memoirs, begins with Africa’s Child, which tells her dramatic story from birth to her departure from her homeland. America’s Daughter continues her story when she arrived in America with her adoptive mother. In Drum Beats, Heart Beats the final volume of the trilogy, we join her as she traverses diverse cultures and continents and negotiates a complex and shifting web of mixed identities—African immigrant and African American. She’s the creator of Aerobics With Soul®, a popular fitness program based on African dance. Maria has made sharing her love of Africa and its culture and rhythms the focus of her life. "The second installment in the Dancing Soul trilogy, America’s Daughter, is a captivating memoir written by talented author, Maria Nhambu. It begins with Maria’s story after she is adopted and arrives in America. An America where she encounters and learns about racism, cultural differences and prejudice. An America where she struggles to learn a new language, faces discrimination and is forced to adopt a new lifestyle. An America that she in time, makes her own with her unique and unfailing compassion. The story also shares Maria’s visit to Tanzania, where she connects with her roots and learns about her heritage. Overall, Maria’s piercingly honest documentation of a challenging time in her life is extremely impactful and compelling. It reflects tremendous strength, beauty, and her remarkable ability to take control of her own destiny. It is a deeply moving story from a powerful author who has steadily defied expectations—and whose story inspires us to do the same. Highly recommended!" - Review by the Book Excellence Awards To learn more, please visit: https://www.marianhambu.com/
