ROCK YOUR STRIPES is a frank, insightful and inspirational femoir; part personal story-telling memoir, infused with feminism, lively spirted, deliberately confronting, and purposefully instructional.

From blank canvas (adopted 1960's baby) to colourful 'Change Champion', I share valuable insights gained along a zigzag pathway of daring to disrupt conservative confines and smashing the need to compare, compete, copy or conform to societal norms.

Yes - it's that 'must write' first book; decades of lessons, changes, reflections > years of extracting conscious thoughts into frameworks > months of soul-driven strength to write and then proudly publish it.

My big 'WHY write it?' To encourage more women to step up bravely, stand out boldly, speak up brilliantly, and courageously lead change ... in their lives, their communities, their country.
