Overview

When I Rest, I Rust is a deeply personal memoir by Warmate Mark Imgbi, chronicling a life shaped by hardship, resilience, displacement, and an unyielding drive to keep moving forward. Born into a community with no access to clinics, hospitals, or emergency care, the author's life begins in fragility-delivered by traditional midwives in an environment where survival was uncertain and systems were absent. From childhood in the creeks to encounters with loss, violence, activism, migration, and leadership, the book traces a journey defined not by comfort, but by persistence. This memoir is not a story of perfection or privilege. It is a testimony of survival, purpose, and the refusal to surrender to rest when rest feels like decline. Through lived experience, When I Rest, I Rust explores identity, responsibility, leadership, faith, and the burden-and gift-of movement. It ultimately reveals how personal pain can evolve into purpose, shaping a commitment to build systems that give others a better chance at life, dignity, and access.
