You're Awesome - The Book

"One early morning in 2006, I was driving on my own into the Shongweni Valley in Kwazulu-Natal. I had been pondering on the challenges that faced South Africa and what I could do to help my country move forward into the democratic future that was the promise of 1994.

An idea came to me with an emotion so over-whelming that I pulled off the road and cried. Since then I have been amazed and deeply grateful at what has unfolded in my life. Writing a book which I have titled You’re Awesome has been part of this journey and shows how the simple, daily practice of living into our goodness can dramatically alter our lives." Di Smith

Di Smith Teamed up with Eastern Cape Photographer Terrence (Mzi) Mtola

"It is few photographers that can make you “feel” what a country is all about. Terrence manages to capture this beautiful country in a way few others can. The foundation for his photography is the deep-rooted love and respect for that which he captures."
