{"product_id":"9781776194582","title":"After The Fires","description":"\u003cp\u003eNozipho Mbanjwa-Tshabalala is a high-performing, excellence-driven, successful black woman. At any given time, she knows what is expected of her, how well she is doing, and what is next on her list of goals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBeing in control of everything in her life was crucial to her survival and success. For the most part, it had always served her well until it didn't. After The Fires is an inspirational memoir where Nozipho shares her deeply personal journey about managing life as the “golden girl” and what it takes to have it all.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book begins with her receiving the news of her mother's passing while she stood on the biggest stage of her career. This event sends her into a spiral that leads her to reevaluate her ideas of success and what it costs to achieve it. Raised in a challenging political time in Pietermaritzburg KZN, the world was not her oyster. It was a series of miniscule gaps of opportunity that could not - must not - be squandered. And if she did her best, she could have it all. Now in her 40s, she has realised that what she needed to survive, may not be what she needs to thrive.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUltimately, it's a story of growth, courage, and letting go. The memoir also touches on her familial journey, the emotional and physical challenges of infertility, and how she learned to surrender control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Nozipho+Tshabalala\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eNozipho Tshabalala\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Nozipho Tshabalala","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47382807609507,"sku":"9781776194582","price":300.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781776194582_42b0ade4-f2b3-46d3-a12e-7c6bf806245d.jpg?v=1776581362","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781776194582","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
