What happens when you spend your entire childhood learning that nowhere is safe and no one stays? Janice Debo was the preacher's kid who got picked on for being "different" - bullied for being holy in a world that punished goodness.
But just when she'd start to find her place, just when she might make a friend, her family would move again. Six different schools. Always the new kid. Always the preacher's daughter. Always the target.
"I think I went to six different schools growing up," Janice remembers. "I was always having to make new friends and didn't know how to stay in touch with other friends."
The cruel mathematics of her childhood: Get bullied for being different. Start to adapt. Begin to belong. Get uprooted. Repeat.
By the time she reached high school, Janice had learned the most devastating lesson a child can learn - that home isn't a place, it's wherever hurts the least. That safety is temporary. That belonging is always borrowed time.
Discover how a woman who spent her childhood as a perpetual outsider learned to create belonging for others - and why your feeling of never fitting in anywhere might be preparing you to help others find their place.
