What happens when you leave home in search of greener pastures, only to return years later with broken dreams and an uncertain future?

In I Am Still Becoming, C.E. Mforlem opens a window into the raw, unfiltered journey of a once-hopeful migrant navigating the silent storms of failure, betrayal, spiritual warfare, and the relentless pursuit of identity. From the streets of China to the realities of home in Cameroon, this book is a powerful memoir of resilience, family, faith, and rediscovery.

More than just a personal story, this book is a mirror to thousands of returnees across Africa who went abroad with big dreams but came back to a society unprepared to welcome them. With emotional depth and brutal honesty, Mforlem speaks to the loneliness, the failed projects, the silent depression, and the cultural betrayal experienced upon returning home. Yet through it all, he finds purpose, healing, and a voice not just for himself—but for every African youth still becoming.

I Am Still Becoming is a cry, a confession, and a call to reimagine how we support returnees, how we face spiritual realities, and how we hold on to hope—even when the world around us falls apart.
