About Noreen Nasim: The Journey Behind ‘Being Expelled from Uganda’ - Whitby Mission & Seafarers Centre

This engaging and emotive session offers a personal reflection from the author of Expelled from Uganda.

Noreen’s memoir traces the journey of her father’s traumatic expulsion from Uganda in 1972, under the brutal regime of Idi Amin, and how this became a powerful reclamation of a forgotten history. Praised for its warmth and courage, this deeply personal project resonates with readers across generations and communities.

Noreen’s story has featured on the TEDx stage, at Buckingham Palace, and on global news outlets.

She will cover the writing process, how she approached writing a historical memoir, preserved oral histories, and structured narrative arcs with emotional weight. There will be practical writing tips for aspiring authors and an open Q&A.
