Ubuntu: On Whose Shoulders We Stand

An ancient African word meaning "humanity to others". It is often described as reminding us that "I am what I am because of who we all are". When we live in a world that celebrates individual success while downplaying the role of others in achieving our dreams. We often forget that others play an equal part in our achievements. When you share your gratitude, you will rise up higher than you could ever dream of. Let's celebrate and honor other people who have helped us along the way. Ubuntu: On Whose Sholders We Stand is a collection of inspired authors sharing their tales of giving humanity to others. FEATURING AUTHORS: Tererai Trent, Bettina Danganbarr, Sarah Blake, Bianca F Stawiarski, Celia Malahlela, Chiedza Malunga, Elisabeth Gabauer, Jen Hagen, Judy Cheung-Wood, Karen McDermott, Kellie Hackney, Lisa Benson, Margaret Williams, Miranda Murray, Raquelle Roulette, Scharrell Jackson, Vikki Speller Forward by Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York AUTHOR: Gifted with natural charisma that inspires people from all walks of life, Dr. Trent's compelling story motivates people to fight for their own dreams, as well as the dreams of others, as she demonstrates in her new book, The Awakened Woman ? Remembering & Reigniting Our Sacred Dreams (Atria/Enliven Books), including a foreword by Oprah Winfrey. A two-time guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Tererai was named by Oprah as her ?All-Time Favorite Guest? and received a $1.5 million donation to rebuild her childhood elementary school in recognition of her tenacity and never-give-up attitude. With the firm belief that education is the pathway out of poverty and a desire to give back to her community, Dr. Trent founded Tererai Trent International. Through strategic partnerships with Oprah Winfrey and Save the Children, Dr. Trent's mission to provide universal access to quality education while also empowering rural communities is now being realized. Eleven schools are being built in Zimbabwe and education has been improved for over 6,000 children so far. And this is only the beginning.
