Desirae Pillay has been through some very challenging times - as a child, a teenager, and into her adult life. Her strength has its foundations in her faith, but she found an opportunity to share by writing a blog.

Desirae is mother to three amazing children, including Savana, an adult child with disabilities. She has learned so much from her children and opened her heart to so many more opportunities because of them.

In this conversation we chat about community, mental health, what we learn as parents, faith, being authentic....and more.

Today Desirae is an incredibly inspirational speaker, freelance writer and most importantly a wonderful mother and a loving wife.

Meet Treive Nicholas

Treive, the author of 'A Nun and the Pig. Treive shares his passion for the history of the Eastern Cape, his adventures exploring the life of a Xhosa girl who had an incredible impact. The teenager and so-called prophetess, Nongqawuse, who was traditionally held responsible for the Xhosa Great Cattle Killing (1856-57), when 40,000+ lost their lives in the Eastern Cape, has become his recent passion project.
