This book is not about me – it’s about the conversations I have had, and the take-aways from those conversations.

If there is one thing that I am constantly annoyed about - it is the lack of recognition and affirmation for the excellence, leadership, and sources of inspiration that come out of the African continent.
There are many organisations working towards changing the narrative of Africa, and the more we have, the more we will still need, in my humble opinion. The media fraternity in Africa is acutely aware of the dynamics of what needs to be corrected, and they fight the good fight on a daily basis. My respect and admiration for these front-line soldiers of the written and spoken word, knows no bounds – a reflection of my belief in the 1839 quote by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, “The pen IS mightier than the sword”.
As the Executive Director of PABWA, I wanted to add my voice to this struggle - inspired and challenged by the icon of feminism and the struggle-stalwart for gender equality: former South African Deputy President, and current UN Women Executive Director, Dr Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, but in a way that I knew how - that meant that I defaulted to technology – and so my podcast “From AfRICA To The World” was born.
As we were a new organisation, I truly and honestly wanted advice from these legends, these power-players, the new and bold voices, the game-changers, and the change-makers … so a question to them became an unplanned habit – “what advice would you give me?’
...
You'll have to buy the book to find out what the advice was ;)
