The life and times of apartheid is often shared, but seldom from the perspective of a white South African. In this talk I share personal experiences from the time I first became aware that something wasn't right, to voting in the first 'free and fair' elections that elected Nelson Mandela as our president.

I grew up in apartheid South Africa and found myself in the UK 30 years ago, with a backpack.
I have been in a range of different careers: teaching (supply, A-Level - teaching History, Geography, Travel & Tourism, Leisure Studies, Event Planning and World Development), tour guiding (in Europe, North Africa, the Balkans, the UK and Ireland, and in the City of London), tour escort (on cruise ships in the Mediterranean and Russia), customer service (in tourism), online marketer (selling my own skin care products, affiliate marketing and running an online membership community) training (walking tour guiding, social media, writing a non-fiction book, goal setting for business, public speaking, and more), public speaking, writing and publishing my own and books by others.
Today I teach non-fiction book writing and have an online writing membership.
I completed my 2nd degree in International Relations and Diplomacy and am deeply involved in my local community. I held the TEDxFrome licence for 4 years.
Crafting, spending time at home with my other half and our gorgeous dog Doris and writing, are my favourite things to do.
