A few weeks back Urban Craft caught up with upcoming South African author, motivational speaker, model and poet Tshauambea Ramukumba for a chat and the inspirational young woman was more than glad to share her story with us.
The 24 year old is a self-taught writer and author of the ground breaking book 'Shades of Shock' which was published back in 2018. A motivational speaker, poet, elcetrian, model...................
Below is Ramukumba's story in her very own words.
BACKGROUND
Marketing books is not easy at all, I was even scared the time I made my first copies because some of the seasoned authors warned me that it was no stroll in the park. I made a few copies to see if I could manage, and fortunately enough, I sold all my 50 copies in just two weeks! Then I made more and more copies! People supported me in a very shocking way, others bought and said 'when you release another one let us know'.
SHADES OF SHOCK
The name of my book is 'shades of shock', it is a collection of ten different motivational short stories. I wrote this particular book based on the shocking events I experienced while 'paging' through life's chapters, most of those shocking events occurred in my life and as for the other, I was but a mere observer. The 'tremors' include heartbreak, commotion, abuse, failure and so many more.
MOTIVATION
Being an author, writing comes naturally to me, I do not struggle. Whatever comes to mind or I observe, I jot it down. I was born to be an author and I will definitely be BIG in this industry in a jiffy. I read a lot, whenever I come across any literary work, I take it and read. It helped me to become an author because I got a chance to observe the writing style of others.
NEW BOOK
I am done with my other new title and am publishing one motivational title next year. The name of my book is #YOU HAVE A PURPOSE...this is the motivational devotion that I wrote after observing that most of the people are living a purposeless life. They think they are limited and cannot make it in life which is genuinely wrong because we all have a purpose resided deep within us and it is our job to vent it out and there is no greater time than the present to begin to do it. In the words of the fellow author Ntsundeni Ndou '#Today is to do!!'. So this is the book to help people discover their real purpose and live it.
VISION 2020
For the new year I have a lot of productive plans. I will continue to inspire people through motivation. Since I tried pageantry and liked it, I am willing to enter as many peagents as I possibly can next year. I wanna build my career in the modelling industry and I wanna do a lot of charity work because we rise by lifting others. My aim in life is to see people overcoming and succeeding.
