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.<\/p>\n

Nonkululeko\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

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.
\nThe clarity in her voice comes through so well that it feels like she\u2019s in the room with you, narrating her life story in an unhurried conversation. Her discerning view on the ego and one\u2019s ability to be both wise and foolish, strong and weak, is meditative and inspiring. True to the book\u2019s title, she comes into her own through her unordinary journey of trauma, healing and self-love that has awakened her to her true purpose<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4748,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"authors":[97],"publishers":[],"product_cat":[99,91],"product_tag":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"\nAWAKENED... to my true self - Blank Page Books<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The book is a reflective celebration of self, courage and the remarkable spirit of resilience that lies within us all.
