The Second Immigration

When Christiana Sagay's company went fully remote, she expected freedom. What arrived instead was a second displacement, one that carried the same vigilance, the same exhaustion, and the same invisible rebuilding she had already survived once as an immigrant. Nobody warned her about this one. Nobody stamps your passport for it, but your nervous system pays the toll anyway.

The Second Immigration names what millions of immigrant professionals are living through but have no language for: a second upheaval hiding inside the shift to remote work. Drawing on published research, composite portraits of real professionals, and the author's own experience as a Senior Program Manager, the book maps this hidden terrain across four territories: Time, Place, People, and Self, and offers twenty-three short, practical lessons for navigating each one. It is the first book in The Japa Diary series.

Far from being another remote-work productivity guide, it is the first book to treat remote-work burnout as a distinctly immigrant experience, layered with code-switching, remittance guilt, heritage-language loss, and the particular loneliness of proving yourself in a country that already asked you to prove yourself once.

Temisan Sagay is a Senior Program Manager, writer, and the author of The Second Immigration, the first book in The Japa Diary series. He writes about work, migration, and the particular exhaustion of doing both at once.

You immigrated once. Remote work asked you to do it again, without the welcome committee, without the visa office, without anyone acknowledging it was happening. The Second Immigration is the first book that names what you've been carrying and shows you how to set it down. If you're an immigrant professional working remotely and the exhaustion feels oddly, unplaceably familiar, this book was written for you.

The Second Immigration, Book One of The Japa Diary, is coming soon. Join the waitlist to be among the first to begin your Second Crossing.

The In-Between: A Memoir of Leadership, Loss, and the Body's Quiet Wisdom, by Deanna Davies

The In-Between is a deeply personal exploration of what happens when life asks us to stand between what has been and what is becoming.

Through stories of leadership, loss, caregiving, change, identity, resilience, and the wisdom of the body, Deanna Davies reflects on the moments that interrupt the lives we thought we were living and invite us to pay attention differently.

Part memoir and part invitation to reflect, The In-Between reminds us that we do not always need to rush through uncertainty or have the next chapter figured out. Sometimes the space between endings and beginnings is where some of our most meaningful growth takes place.

Take the conversation home with you.

Continue your own journey through The In-Between: A Memoir of Leadership, Loss, and the Body's Quiet Wisdom.

Copies will be available at the event, with an opportunity to meet Deanna and have your book personally signed.

Read. Reflect. Continue the conversation.

How featuring works

Three things, in this order.

Your chapters go up first.

We build you a chapter preview on the platform: each chapter as its own panel, with the teaser that makes a reader open it. The book gets read before the room meets you.

You are matched to an edition.

CI3 runs Curated Leadership Experience editions through the year. You are placed in the one where your book actually lands, not the next one on the calendar.

You commit to signing in person.

Your edition page names the date and city of your signing, and being in the room on the day is the commitment you make in return. Readers who came through your chapter preview arrive already knowing your argument.

Editions can travel.

Editions are not permanently fixed to one city. Where there is enough author and speaker interest in a region, CI3 will look at bringing an edition there.

What we ask in return

Featuring is free. It is not one-way.

CI3 carries the preview, the curation, the room and the signing, and charges an author nothing for any of it. What we ask back is not money. It is the three things that make an edition work for you and for everyone else in it.

You are there on the day.

Featured authors attend their matched edition in person and sign. The signing is the part a reader travels for, and it only exists if you are in the room.

You bring the books.

Authors supply copies of their book on site for the signing, plus a few complimentary signed copies for CI3 to keep and to place where they do the most good.

You help fill the room.

You promote your edition actively to your own audience. A curated room is built by everyone on the bill, and the readers you bring are the ones most likely to open your chapters first.
