EPISODE 590 - Cedric Muhikira - Libaax - Grow Your Roots Where You Land, Finding Your Footing in a Foreign Land
Cedric Mu is a storyteller whose roots lie in migration, identity, and the search for belonging. Born into a world where stories were cherished like family heirlooms, Cedric grew up immersed in tales that spanned generations and geographies, stories of home, displacement, and resilience. These narratives inspired a lifelong passion for capturing the essence of the human experience—especially the delicate balance of living between cultures.
With Grow Your Roots Where You Land, Cedric brings to life the poignant journey of Ayaan, a Somali immigrant who arrives in Detroit with nothing but dreams of a better life. Infused with cultural authenticity, Cedric’s writing blends Somali traditions with American urban life, celebrating both the joy and pain of building a new identity in a foreign land. Through the rhythms of Somali qaraami music and the electrifying pulse of Detroit’s techno beats, Cedric tells a story that resonates with anyone who has ever felt caught between worlds.
As a self-taught writer, Cedric’s path to authorship has been shaped by listening to the experiences of immigrants and those grappling with identity, with a deep commitment to honoring both Somali and American traditions. A writer with a storyteller’s heart, Cedric invites readers to explore the transformative power of becoming and growing roots wherever life takes them.
