+In this chapter, Ikpi details the lives of her parents and grandparents. How does her family's experiences with gender expectations and immigration affect their lives later? Do we see any of these patterns in our own lives?

+What are some ways Ikpi identifies generational trauma has shaped her? If you’d like to share, what are some ways your familial relationships both present and historically have shaped you?

+How do our memories of our elders shift as we ourselves age, especially as we become more aware of societal impacts like racism and sexism?

+Has learning more about the earlier lives of your parents and grandparents changed the way you see them? In what way?

++Are these questions different than the ones you were asking as you read? Enhance the discussion by adding questions!
