Uzo Aduba Instagram – My book. I’m thrilled to unveil the cover of my upcoming literary memoir, “The Road Is Good.” This book is deeply personal, a journey through Black immigrant identity, family, and the incredible strength found in the matriarchal force that shaped my life.
My Mom.
Growing up as one of the few Black families in our Massachusetts suburb, my siblings and I navigated a world that often felt like uncharted territory. But through it all, my mother instilled in us an unwavering sense of belonging and worth, rooted in our Nigerian heritage.
I wrote this book as my mom fought valiantly against cancer, but “The Road Is Good” isn’t about grief or death, it’s about finding my true self and my own path. This memoir is a tribute to my mother’s fierce love and the invaluable lessons she passed down. It’s a celebration of life and finding resilience.
From my first audition to my first Emmy, the road was bumpy, but my mom’s belief in me was my compass. Always. As a first time mother to a baby girl, I will always see my mom as my North Star.
“The Road Is Good” is more than just my story—it’s for anyone who ever felt like an outsider trying to find their place in the world.
I can’t wait for you to read it this fall. Thank you for the first look @people. Love you, Mommy. More than you could ever know. Yours, Zozo @vikingbooks #theroadisgood
