What would you do to protect your child's right to decide who they are?How many doors would you push against to ensure they never have to bargain for their own worth?
Rita Serghini confronted these questions when her daughter was born. It reshaped everything she thought she knew about belonging, love, and the limits society quietly places on human lives. Rather than accepting those limits, she began a journey that would take her across countries and institutions and into the deeply personal terrain of unlearning.
In
Radical Belonging, Serghini weaves together story, reflection, and hard-won insight. She explores what it means to claim a place in the world-a world that pushes to define who belongs and who does not. Moving between the intimate spaces of motherhood and the broader landscapes of culture and education, she pushes you to reconsider the ways we measure worth, difference, and possibility.
This is the story of one mother's determination to stand beside her child and, in doing so, to discover a deeper truth: Belonging is not something granted by others. It is something we build, protect, and grow from within.
