When was the last time you went on an adventure led by a black South African woman ready to serve you gutsy innards? Let me take you through the Soweto of my childhood, where Mandela was still in jail and apartheid threatened to swallow us whole. You'll meet a girl who goes mute after stumbling on a burning body and an old man who sells gritty gizzards from his rickety bicycle, among many resilient souls.
I’ve been an anti-BS writer & Truthteller since I could run my mouth. Seriously—ask my momma! I was born to help you Choose Courage over Comfort, so you can chase big adventures.
See. I grew up in apartheid Soweto, South Africa.
Translation?
I got a front row seat to how an apocalypse ends if you brand it in white supremacy then fry that mess up in some Nazi-grade hot sauce, just for good measure 👀🤯—Shit was w.i.y.l.d! But it also gave me a first rate education in real resilience and self liberation—what it takes to dismantle oppression from the inside out every.single.day.
Consider:
What would it look like if creative, big-hearted folks like you—folks without fancy titles—chose Radical Love + Purposeful Action to unfc us all from racism/sexism/classism/imposter-syndrome/them vs. us?
What would it look like if all your work + everyday life was rooted in Love over Fear?
That, my friend, is what I do—I help folks like you choose Love over Fear & Courage over Comfort—so you can do the most important and audacious work of your life.
And I got receipts.
You May Have Seen Me Here:
I’ve shared the stage with writers like Arundhati Roy, Nikki Giovanni & Joy Harjo. And have fancy pants writing awards like the Rona Jaffe Writing Award, Caine Prize for African Writing and an MFA from Iowa Writers’ Workshop.
Receiving the Prize in Ethics Award from Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel. I’ve spoken on global stages like the U.N., Mastercard, BBC & The Washington Post.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu once danced circled around me at an Academy of Achievement Summit. Gotta hunt down that pic! I’ve led workshops worldwide, from New Zealand Ireland to Italy.
Here’s the thing: You’ve got this. My work is simply helping you dig up what’s already inside.
Whether you’re writing your first book, strengthening your everyday activism or keen to lead with deeper empathy—you already have everything inside you to accomplish everything you want. How do I know? Because you’re braver and stronger than you think. Because your essence is radical love. And because our work together is all about unleashing that bottomless powerhouse already inside of you.
So. Shall we get started?
Get My Weekly Deliveries of Courage, Creativity & A Side of Sass:
Every Thursday I send a letter out about culture, courage and antiracism. Sundays, I spill the beans on getting paid and published when you’re a creative storyteller writing from the margins.
And I sell things. Yes! You read that right.
This business makes money and I love stacking paper. Through the learning experiences and tools I offer, I share everything I know about doing the most important and audacious work of your life. For me, that work is storytelling to change lives—both from the stage and on the page. For you, that work may be parenting well while leading a work team based on antiracist culture.
Bottom line. I’m here to serve you.
I want to lift up your humanity. When you read my newsletter or leave my workshop, I wanna know your heart cavity’s been expanded toward radical love and your mind’s been shifted toward purposeful action.
