My Family’s Slave is a personal story written by Pulitzer-prize winning author and journalist, Alex Tizon, who died last March.

 

Tizon grew up in the United States of America (US) where he migrated with his family in the 1960s. He was four-years-old at the time.

 

He left behind a moving and conscience-searing story about his yaya, the family domestic worker, who cared for him and worked her whole life for the Tizon family.
