Finding Me

Finding Me: A Voyage Into the Heart of My Identity

By Lady Alswell Blankson

Who are we before the world tells us who to be? And who do we become when we finally stop listening to everyone but ourselves?

Finding Me is Lady Alswell Blankson's soul-searching journey back to her own roots — a voyage through memory, culture, faith, and self-discovery in pursuit of the truest version of who she is. Like a tree with branches reaching toward the sky and roots running deep into the earth, this book explores identity as something both grown and given, shaped by heritage and by choice.

Drawing on her Ghanaian roots, her lived experiences, and her spiritual grounding, Blankson takes readers through the layers of identity we inherit, the ones we lose along the way, and the ones we must consciously reclaim. This is a story about untangling who you were told to be from who you actually are — and finding the courage to stand fully in that truth.

Part memoir, part meditation on identity, Finding Me speaks to anyone who has ever felt disconnected from themselves — whether through culture, circumstance, or the noise of other people's expectations — and is ready to come home to who they really are.

This is a voyage inward. And what waits at the center is you.
