The book is a culmination of Nonkululeko’s 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.
