A "global nomad" with strong African roots, Wakanyi Hoffman and her husband have
been raising their four multicultural and mixed race children across seven
countries, three continents, on a mission to teach them to embrace the whole
world as their home. They have called Kenya, United States, Nepal, Philippines,
Ethiopia, Thailand and now the Netherlands home. "Life as a nomad, as we had
come to understand from others who were living the same way, is measured not by
our ability to adapt to new places, but by the agony of choosing to physically
distance ourselves from the familiar. But to abandon old ways and embrace new
changes comes at the expense of this social experiment, testing the extents of
our resilience. And yet change, as we have also come to discover, is the only
constant to the human experience."
