Author Wanjiru Warama returns to the San Carlos Branch Library to discuss her book,  Entangled in America.  With wit and emotion, Warama enlightens the reader to the struggles and vulnerabilities faced by an immigrant woman trying to find employment and learn how to financially support herself,  while also learning how to fit in and acclimate herself to a shockingly new culture. Warama’s first book, Unexpected America, told of her early life in Kenya and her struggles upon immigrating to the United States.  A writer and philanthropist, Wanjiru Warama was born and raised in British colonial Kenya, and educated in both Kenya and the United States; she holds a BSc. and an MBA in Business Administration.   Warama was the keynote speaker at the 2018 Friends of the San Diego Public Library annual meeting.  She is a member of the San Diego Writers & Editors Guild, lifetime member of the Friends of the Library, and of The Rotary Club.
