Synopsis

A deeply personal and brave story of one woman’s quest to break through religious and cultural expectations, find success and healing on her own terms, and create a life fueled by love, not anger.

Samina Bari has many identities. A first-generation American. A successful healthcare executive. A mother to twin girls. A survivor of complex trauma. In this book, Bari reveals what it’s like to grow up amidst the deep contradictions of clashing cultures, what it means to make your own way against the grain as a young girl, what it takes to navigate the corporate world without guidance, and, ultimately, how she discovered real love and inner healing.

Through candid storytelling and raw vulnerability, Bari offers her story as an invitation to women and girls everywhere to explore their own personal stories. At turns enlightening and at others devastating, I Can, I Will & I Did is a portrait of a life lived fully and without apology—and one sure to inspire future generations of women to trust themselves and live their own lives bravely and authentically, whatever that means for them.
