Welcome to the Storyhouse!

Founder Aminah, with her book Nine Times Over

As a mom of 9, I wrote and published two books. It’s proof that a busy life doesn’t mean you can’t finish your book! My first book, “Gambia Through our eyes,” was written after our family relocated from the USA to West Africa. It’s my first memoir, written about our family’s journey living in Africa with 9 children.

My second book, “Nine Times Over,” is my journey of healing postpartum depression and body image complications after carrying babies. I carried this book on my heart for years, before I finally put it into a book. I know how it feels to carry a book with no strategy of how to get it into pages. It’s why I created the Storyhouse specifically for busy moms to finally tell their stories and become authors.

“Aminah maintains a professional rapport. I like the genuine feedback I received. She took time from her busy schedule to walk me through the process. I didn’t feel rushed in our conversations. I value her insight and experience. Even as a seasoned journalist it helps having a newer writer with experience in the field, to help me along this new journey.
