You live overseas, you can't say no.From whispered guilt-trips to bold demands, Diaspora Misunderstood gives voice to a reality often silenced.Through raw stories, reflections, and letters, this book unpacks the unspoken pressure many diaspora face: the expectation to carry entire families, communities - and sometimes even countries - on their backs. It's a journey of sacrifice, silence, survival, and selfhood.Whether you're abroad or still at home, this book will challenge everything you thought you knew about those who made it out. You'll discover the emotional toll behind airport selfies, the truth about black tax abroad, the impact on mental health and relationships, and the quiet heartbreak of building without thanks.This book is for: - Anyone living abroad who's felt unseen, used, or guilted - Family and friends who want to understand diaspora reality - Readers seeking healing, boundaries, and truthThuli Marutle Leigh offers a mirror to the global migrant experience - with honesty, compassion, and unapologetic truth.I didn't cross oceans to become your wallet. I came to build - not bleed.
