Shauwn “MaMkhize” Mkhize opened up about her healing journey since releasing her memoir, My World, My Rules.
In her sit-down on eNCA, the reality TV star and businesswoman spoke of letting things go from her past by speaking up about her final words to her parents, who passed on.
“I wanted to deal with my past, I wanted to face my fears and deal with my fears. There couldn't be a better way than to pen it down,” she said.
“I have blocked a lot about my dad in such a way that I have never talked about my father. It was like he never existed. I felt like he was gone too soon.
“I think the first step of healing is to let it all out. For me, what I have been through will inspire, it will inspire any one black person and they must understand that when you see MaMkhize, it's not that everything is always rosy.”
