You see, I used to be a selfish girl. I wrote stories but I did not share them. In 2009, Lady Fate – in all her wisdom – decided to change that. I suffered a major concussion that resulted in me losing my senses of smell and taste. During the reflective days after that curveball, something in my soul stirred. My selfish girl days were numbered.

I tuned in to the soulcall to share and was rewarded generously: I developed superpowers. Yes, superpowers! I realised that:

              My loss of smell forced me to use my ears more.

              So, I started to listen. Really listen.

              My loss of taste forced me to use my eyes more.

              So, I started to see. Really see.

It occurred to me that on the road to recovery, I had developed a special set of skills using instinct, intuition, vibrations, feelings, nuances. My 2 dull senses heightened the 3 fully functional ones. Those superpowers were my biggest gift as a writer. They made for some powerful storytelling.

So began my journey to publishing my writing. My stories translated into emotions. The emotions connected hearts and magic began to happen.

I followed the magic. I let my heart guide me. I had no idea where the road would lead me. I simply put one foot in front of the other and kept writing. Before I knew it, I had penned my debut novel, “I am Grateful”. I screamed “thank you!” and then sat down to write some more.

World be warned: This African woman has superpowers and she intends to use them!
