From the Depths of a War Torn Country to a Place Called Home
by Gina Yrjana
Gina was five, her sister still a baby, when their mother sent them to a Congolese orphanage, desperate for them to have a better life. Homeless and living in poverty after the death of their father, adoption by a Canadian family was the complicated answer to their prayers.
In this remarkably honest and powerful story, Gina describes her turbulent journey from the war-torn country to rural British Columbia. In a world that felt both familiar and foreign, she found love and stability with her new family and a passion for playing hockey. On the ice, she had purpose, a place where she could carve out her own space and silent the chaos of her past. When a devastating injury shattered her promising path, Gina was forced to confront the bittersweet reckoning of childhood memories.
Gina Yrjana is the 2026 recipient of the DreamHER publishing and media scholarship. She is an author, speaker, and college student living in BC.

The Journey Within to Find Myself
In Breaking Apart, Reema Kumari shares her deeply personal journey through childhood, generational, and cultural trauma spanning decades and continents. Her curiosity and resolve led her to research various spiritual systems, therapies, and treatments around the world to confront the painful cycle of abuse she witnessed and endured. By combining her beautifully written story with studies and reflections, she invites the reader to shatter the false beliefs they may hold and discover their true self beneath layers of inherited limitation and unconscious patterns. To learn how to break free from the need for validation, approval, or external permission, and to remember the radical truth that you are already free to exist as yourself without apology or justification.
Reema has spent her career in the life sciences sector, yet her deepest education came from the initiations life placed in her path. Those experiences pulled her beyond the boundaries of logic and into the quiet territories of esoteric wisdom, where she began to understand the subtle architecture of consciousness and the true nature of healing. Her work carries the imprint of both science and spirit, offering a pathway to liberation that is as soulful as it is grounded.
