ALETTE WINCKLER – Alette does not need any introduction.  Entrepreneur, business woman and wife of Heinz Winckler.  She does not sit still for one minute plus she’s a devoted mother and wife.  She also just took over the GIRL-SCHOOL concept from Anri (Rina Hugo’s daughter) which is a finishing school concept for girls Gr 1 – 12 and there’s already 25 franchises nationwide!  This is an incredible initiative, seeing that the need to raise young girls with competence, self assurance and self confidence is really important, especially today.  I think this type of insert with Alette could really be great for a talk show.

In the 7th episode of the podcast, we have a look at a poetry novella written to push boundaries in the litterary space and create an opportunity for reflection to take place. The poems are stories in their own right and each piece paints a visual we all can relate to a s a people.

In this episode, I speak about my interest in reading Tinashe Mushakavanhu's wonderful book, 'Reincarnating Marechera : Notes on a Speculative Archive'. I also delve into the intricacies of being a writer and the importance of reading others who have walked a path that is not easy to grasp or understand.
