‘I share to normalise talking about those shameful, hurtful things
we keep hidden. I share because shame loses its power when we
find safe spaces to share our truth … and when women heal,
generations heal.’

To her thousands of fans, Wisdom & Wellness founder, speaker and influencer Mpoomy Ledwaba is a symbol of strength and women empowerment. But going from university dropout to Forbes magazine’s list of 30 Under 30 wasn’t always easy – it took much courage and a commitment to personal growth.

How Did We Get Here? is her coming-of-age story. Looking back on her upbringing, major milestones and the challenges she’s faced, Mpoomy takes us on her journey of self discovery. Behind the Instagram likes and thousands of YouTube subscribers is an ambitious girl who sometimes bit off more than she could chew. This mother of two, who is married to an award winning musician, didn’t always have a plan and rarely fitted the mould of ‘the good wife’.

Mpoomy writes openly about the mistakes she’s made, the hurt she’s experienced and some of the hard truths she’s had to learn about life, but also about how her faith has been a guiding light. As a firm believer in the power of stories, she uses her personal history to show how to live a purposeful life on all levels.
