My Honest Review of Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
79: In this episode of At the Table, I share my reflections on Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi — a multigenerational novel that traces two half-sisters and their descendants through centuries of history, from Ghana to America.
I talk about how I came to the book after reading Transcendent Kingdom, the emotional weight of moving through trauma after trauma on the page, and how the story forced me to think about identity, Blackness, womanhood, and resilience in new ways.
This isn’t just a book review — it’s a conversation about navigating identity as an African in America, about the strength of Black people who created culture from nothing, and about the questions Homegoing leaves us to wrestle with long after the final page.
I’ll share what I loved about Yaa Gyasi’s storytelling, what frustrated me about the ending, my final star rating, and whether I think you should pick this book up for yourself.
So, grab a snack, pull up a seat, and join Fikayo at the Table for an episode you don’t want to miss. Press play to unlock the doors to your wildest dreams.
