Karabo Petunia Digasho, for example, wrote her book Women Talk in the interest of uplifting Thembisa’s women.
Women Talk is one of the numerous female-authored books that might provide a much-needed pep talk to a fellow sister.
Whether they’re looking for professional advice, a way to heal a broken heart, or simply a little push in the right direction, they’ll find it here.
“To be honest, I never imagined myself as a writer or as someone who could qualify to be a writer. However, I’ve received positive feedback on my writings. Hence I decided to explore my writing skills more professionally,” said Digasho.
“It meant a lot to me to be able to write my first book. This is because I’m speaking about the challenges that women face in our society.
“This motivating book was written by a woman for women, and it provides all the motivation they need to get out there and start living the life they want,” she said.
The book, according to the Thembisan resident, is aimed at helping women see things in a new light and make positive changes in their lives.
“The teachings will linger with the reader long after the last page.
“Every woman knows how it feels to be separated from her life and as if every day is a battle; nonetheless, learning about the vulnerabilities and accomplishments that can be encountered inspires hope for a better future for women in our country. The book will help free women from religion, culture, and customs that enslave them.
“The tenacity can serve as a lesson for any woman on how to cultivate her strength and drive, and how that will ultimately work in her favour when the time comes.”
Her family was startled by her talent, according to the poet, and she wants to make them proud.
“My family is still baffled by my abilities. I was raised as an introvert. I didn’t express myself to them because, as you know, black parents want their children to be doctors, lawyers, and other professionals, but they dismissed my writing as a fleeting fad. As a result, they continue to evaluate me based on my potential,” said Digasho.
