Breasts, etc.

R295.00
A universe minus women can only mean extinctions of varying and catastrophic degrees. Erotic, perceptive and transcendental; Breasts, etc. is a novel of double consciousness. Portrait photographer and narrator, James Baldwin, oscillates between present day South Africa and the Frontier — an existential dystopia if and when women are inexplicably completely and permanently wiped from the world.
It is an exploration of, and meditation on the existential strife and tragic comedy at the Frontier, a post-apocalyptic and desolate landscape that forms the backdrop to an examination of masculine vulnerabilities and wickedness in a world stripped of feminine presence and wisdom.

AWAKENED… to my true self

R329.00
Nonkululeko Gobodo made her mark in business as the first black female Chartered Accountant in South Africa, a great and a rare feat for a black woman growing up in apartheid South Africa. If she was told at 17 years old, while pregnant, that she would be a valiant voice of her generation, she would have laughed it off in disbelief. Nonkululeko’s career has always been about embodying black excellence, and in this book, she bares her own perspective on deep-seated issues of racism, prejudice against women, discrimination, and mental brokenness; themes that continue to taunt our minds today. The book is a culmination of her passion to see black people and women awakened to their true selves. It is a reflective celebration of self, courage and the remarkable spirit of resilience that lies within us all. The clarity in her voice comes through so well that it feels like she’s in the room with you, narrating her life story in an unhurried conversation. Her discerning view on the ego and one’s ability to be both wise and foolish, strong and weak, is meditative and inspiring. True to the book’s title, she comes into her own through her unordinary journey of trauma, healing and self-love that has awakened her to her true purpose
