Nonku Williams's mother Niniza Ngcobo, popularly known as The Queen, has launched a book to help people heal from trauma.

Having overcome “shame and emotional pain” after divorcing three times, Niniza got candid about her journey to healing in her autobiography Is this The Worst Thing That Can Happen To You?

The book is set to inspire everyone, especially women who have suffered the same fate as Niniza, and bring hope to the hopeless.

“Whatever situation you find yourself in, never forget who you are and 'whose' you are,” Niniza tells TshisaLIVE.

It took her many “years and hours of tears” to launch the book says Niniza. 

The reality TV star says she hopes to touch the lives of the people who can relate to her experiences. 

“I would cry to the Lord saying I would not do it, but I knew I had to do it. It was not easy. I was as young as 19 years old when I first got married. I suffered humiliation, betrayal, rejection, innocent and vulnerable before becoming this strong-willed woman I am today.

“I heard God saying to me that I was going through everything for a reason, though it wasn't easy and that so many other women are going through the same thing ... I lived for so many years in fear and hiding ... writing the book, I told God that if even just one woman who can read the book and be inspired that they can get through that time.”

Nonku celebrated her mom's achievement on her timeline, penning a letter to her mother. 

“So proud of my “Mom Queen” on trusting God with her life story to write, publish her book,” she wrote.

The Queen's book retails for R150 on online book stores including Amazon.
