‘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.

    I don’t usually review, but I think it is safe to say with my full chest that this is the best book I have ever read in my entire history of reading.
    I have read books of great authors and felt very inspired, but the way I felt seen, comforted and NORMAL when I read Mpoomy’s , made me feel like I should have paid way more than the price of this book.

    As a gal pal, I am so proud of the life changing story of mama ka Nuri, I understand why you said you felt NAKED after sharing your story, I keep applauding you for giving us such necessary but SACRED parts of to you . I am you and you are me!

    I’ve always had a strong desire to write my own book and this was the definite motivation. I also have my own Oxford Dictionary story, angry black mom stories and a few other sensitive chapters she has shared that motivated me to not feel shame about being me any more.

    God has used this book to transform my life and one day when I meet Mpoomy , I will tell her this!

    Thank you for allowing God to use you , sis.
