Vir baie lank al is my grootste droom om joy in mense se lewe te bring en hulle te help om die beste weergawe van hulself te wees. My boek bevat al my rituele vir my liggaam, mind, siel en werk, en die lewensrituele wat ek al in my 33 jaar op aarde na die dood van my Ma en ’n egskeiding uitgefigure het.

Hierdie is my rituele wat MY help om die beste weergawe van myself te wees. Ek deel dit graag met jou met die hoop dat wanneer jy dit in JOU lewe toepas – en, baie belangrik, OP JOU UNIEKE MANIER – jy ook die vreugde sal beleef wat ek beleef om myself te kan wees.

Verander jou mindset en jy verander jou lewe. En as jy ooit voel die wêreld is teen jou omdat jy JY is – blok en bless, sister – moenie jou daaraan steur nie: Die Here het JOU GEMAAK PRESIES soos Hy jou wou hê! Bless jou!

This compelling and important history of the British Empire, told from the perspective of 20 people who lived through it, tells the story of one of the largest and most powerful empires in human history. At one time, the British Empire ruled over almost a quarter of the world’s population. Men, women and children from all walks of life and from across the globe were affected in big and small ways, from the clothes they wore, the food they ate and the languages they spoke to the work they did and the rights they held. This legacy and impact is still evident all over the world today. This book shines a light on the human aspects of the ‘Empire where the sun never sets’, introducing readers to a host of figures, both powerful and modest, who lived through, challenged, and influenced the course of the British Empire. But how did this empire come to be? And what happened to the people whose lands were colonised? The people whose lives were touched? This book tells their stories and reclaims this chapter in history by giving voice to 20 real figures whose perspectives have often been ignored, overlooked or sidelined. Their stories are told in a first-person narrative style, allowing readers to see through the eyes of these inspiring history-keepers. From leaders and activists to poets and freedom fighters, the book features a range of figures from across five continents, shining a light on the human aspect of the British Empire. Meet Queen Nanny, the escaped slave who led a fight for freedom against the British in Jamaica.  Hear the story of Rani of Jhansi, a key figure in the Indian resistance movement against British colonial rule.  Learn about Tejonihokarawa, the Mohawk leader who travelled to London on a diplomatic mission.  These engaging true stories of resistance, community, struggle and hope will spark conversations, foster a broader, decolonized understanding of the reaches and impacts of colonialism and ultimately leave readers inspired. After all, understanding our past and its echoes in our lives today is a step towards a better future.
