The core work of the book The Home I Worked to Make (2024), as stated by the author, is based on two key steps: first, conducting, transcribing, and translating the interviews; second, condensing, editing, and arranging the testimonies as text; and finally, obtaining interviewees' approval of their narratives and, to protect the anonymity and safety of interviewees given their circumstances, whether they preferred to use their real name or a pseudonym. The raw audio-recorded and transcribed interviews are not publicly available.
