This book spoke to me when I felt completely stuck. Thando's principles are practical, honest, and deeply human. I've recommended it to everyone I know.
A rare blend of academic depth and lived experience. You feel the authenticity on every page. The kind of book that stays with you long after.
I used Thando's 16 principles in a workshop with at-risk youth. It gave young people a real language for their struggles — and their potential.
