The book series “Diary of a Side Chick Makhwapheni” takes readers through the life journey of Sharon Letsoalo. Born and raised in Limpopo, Sharon heads to Gauteng to pursue her academic ambitions, a common path for many young people from rural areas.
However, her life takes an unexpected turn as the allure of Gauteng’s lights lead her astray, transforming her into someone her mother never intended her to become.
Sharon’s journey resonates with the complexities of sexuality, blesser culture, religiosity, patriarchy, and spirituality. These concepts are not foreign; we all know someone in our lives who is currently experiencing or has gone through the challenges associated with these complexities.
This book offers a new perspective on life, showcasing the story of a young girl who has mastered the art and science of overcoming her struggles to create something meaningful from her experiences.
