Dare to Dream, September 27, 2004
This review is from: Felicia: Dare to Dream (Paperback)
This is the life journey of Felicia Mabuza-Suttle, South Africa's premier talk-show hostess. Dare to Dream is about the girl who grew up in "the dusty streets of Soweto" and how she achieved her dreams. Like most non-Americans growing up on American media and fantasizing about this "land of milk and honey", Felicia had dreams of coming to America and living the American dream. She moved back to South Africa (sans husband and children) after President Mandela called for exiles to come back home. Felicia relates the loneliness of a long-distance marriage. The pain of not being physically available for her kids. The frustrations of going back Americanized and having to prove her "cultural roots". For those who know of Felicia - the Oprah of South Africa and wanted to know what makes this woman tick, wondered where she gets her unfazed determination, her confidence, strength, intelligence and love for her community and country, get this book. It is an easy read, 155 pages with descriptive chapter titles. The book is full of motivational passages, photographs, quotes and praises.
