#128 Beryl Crosher-Segers | A journey from Apartheid to Inner Peace

0
In my memoir A Darker Shade of Pale, I revisit the trauma of growing up under apartheid, where discrimination wasn’t just a societal norm—it was law. The daily humiliations and injustices shaped who I am, but they also fueled my determination to seek a better life in Australia. Yet, even after moving here, I struggled with anxiety and unresolved pain. Writing was my way of making sense of it all—of creating a legacy, not just for my family, but for others who’ve experienced similar battles. The journey from trauma to healing wasn’t easy; it’s a path I’m still on. But today, I can finally say I’ve found my voice and my purpose.
