From Soil to Soul: The Pan-African Plant-Based Alliance

At the heart of this cookbook lies an inspiring fusion of two compelling themes: the power of plant-based eating and the celebration of Pan-Africanism. This cookbook aims to inspire Afro-descendants to embrace the richness of a plant-based lifestyle while reconnecting with their African heritage and embracing the principles of Pan-Africanism.

By celebrating traditional African dishes, we seek to ignite a sense of pride and belonging in people of African descent, on and off the continent. We strive to demonstrate that plant-based eating is not a limitation but a gateway to a world of unlimited culinary adventures compatible with African cuisines.

By highlighting the interconnectedness of all living beings, as emphasized in Ubuntu philosophy, and by embodying the principles of justice, ethics, and moral integrity represented by Maat, we encourage readers to delve even deeper into the ethical and cultural dimensions of their food choices.

1. What Inspired You to Write This Book?

It Is Never Late for a Healthy Childhood was born from a personal crisis and a burning desire to help others. At a time when my skin health took a severe downturn, no doctor could offer a solution. Desperate to find answers, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and research, uncovering truths that shocked me: deceptive food industry practices like greenwashing and hidden sugars were silently eroding not just my health but millions of others.

I realised this wasn’t just my story—it was a shared struggle faced by countless individuals who juggle life’s pressures while unknowingly compromising their well-being. This book combines 20 years of lived experience with rigorous academic research to arm readers with the knowledge and tools to reclaim control of their lives.

3. What was your unique quotient for this project?

What sets It Is Never Late for a Healthy Childhood apart is its foundation in rigorous academic research paired with over two decades of personal, real-world experience. This book is not another collection of fleeting health trends or superficial wellness tips. Instead, it uncovers the root causes of our conscious living challenges—exposing the marketing deceptions of the food industry and the societal shift towards a convenient but harmful “grab-and-go” culture.

Central to this book is the Five Pillars of Conscious Living. This framework empowers you to master self-governance, embrace mindful eating, nurture meaningful relationships, engage in invigorating physical activity, and practice environmental stewardship. These pillars aren’t abstract concepts; they are practical, actionable strategies I have personally embraced and witnessed their transformative power in my own life.

This book is your starting point if you’re ready to go beyond the surface and truly transform your life. Dare to care, take the first step, and remember—it’s never too late.

4. How did becoming an author help in your brand/business?

Becoming an author was never solely my ambition—it was yours. You, the people who believed in my journey, the individuals whose lives I’ve touched, and the communities I’ve had the privilege to walk beside inspired me to write this book. My story became your story, a testament to the impact we can have when we dare to care and pursue self-mastery. For that, I am deeply pleased and grateful.

Writing It Is Never Late for a Healthy Childhood has solidified my role as an advocate for conscious living and a thought leader in conscious living. This book has amplified my message, allowing me to reach and connect with a global audience in a way I never thought possible. It has opened doors to collaborate with like-minded individuals and organisations, all striving to create a healthier, more sustainable future.

But beyond strengthening my brand or professional visibility, this book serves a greater purpose. It showcases my unwavering commitment to transparency, self-mastery, and sustainability—values I don’t just preach but live every day. The journey of writing this book has been humbling, as it has become a resource to inspire meaningful change and a platform to empower others to reclaim their health and lives.

This book isn’t just about me; it’s about us, it is about you. It’s about the ripple effect of our collective choices and the transformations we can spark together. If this book has touched even one life, if it has inspired someone to dare to care, to pursue self-mastery, and to live with intention, then becoming an author has fulfilled its purpose. I’m grateful for the opportunity to share this journey with you—and honored to assist you in mastering yours.

5. What are your future plans as an author?

As an author, my journey is just beginning, and I see this as a shared adventure with my readers. It Is Never Late for a Healthy Childhood was the first step. I’m committed to expanding on its themes through additional books, workshops, and online resources that go beyond just knowledge—they create meaningful action.

One of my key aspirations is to build a Conscious Living Community where readers can connect, learn, and grow together. This community will be a space to access practical tools, share experiences, and engage with educational content tailored to help individuals continue their journey toward conscious, intentional living.

I’m also planning a companion book focused on self-mastery because the solution isn’t just about avoiding sugar or ultra-processed food. True transformation lies in self-governance—the ability to make mindful, intentional choices without the weight of restriction or guilt. This book will guide readers toward building that inner resilience and balance.

Another vital step in my journey is to start a dialogue with children and parents, addressing the importance of conscious eating and self-awareness from an early age. By empowering families to foster healthier relationships with food and each other, we can plant seeds of self-mastery and intentional living for generations to come.

Additionally, I am deeply committed to supporting local economies by advocating for businesses and producers who operate under the principles of “no harm to human beings” and “no harm to Planet Earth.” Through my work, I aim to assist in eradicating grab-and-go culture and greenwashing, two practices that have undermined our health, our planet’s sustainability and the whole of society. My mission, inter alia, is to inspire people to return to the joy of family and friends bonding over meals, rekindling the tradition of shared moments and meaningful connections around the table.

Through these projects, I strive to continue empowering readers to live fearlessly, grow endlessly, and love boundlessly. This isn’t just about health—it’s about creating a life of purpose, harmony, and fulfilment while contributing to a healthier planet and society. Let’s take this journey further, transform our lives, and make conscious choices that ripple outward to benefit our families, communities, and the world.
