Transcend is especially important, not just for its good business advice, but also because it is a hands-on look at the business world from a black woman's perspective. Evita Nyandoro is a shining light for South African women everywhere and her love for female empowerment is clear in her work.

How do some people have it all? How do they climb up the corporate ladder, have the seemingly perfect family, and still manage to own the boardrooms they sit in? Ever wondered how they got there?
Transcend' by Evita Nyandoro. Image: Supplied Nyandoro had those exact same thoughts from an early age. As she grew in her career within financial services, she realised that the biggest mistake we make is waiting until we are successful before we share our stories.

The basic life skills that will see you flourish in the workplace
How to find a corporate role that resonates with you
Strategies that you can utilize to get ahead in your career
And finally, the reality of being a woman in the working world and how to navigate the challenges that come with it
Overall, this book will revitalize you, encourage you and help you thrive in all spheres of your life.
MORE ABOUT THE AUTHOR Image via Instagram @evita.nyandoro. Nyandoro grew up in a small town in Gweru, Zimbabwe. Although she never really thought much about her career when growing up, she knew she wanted to enjoy whatever career she would end up in.
Today, she is a highly sought-after chartered accountant who has worked in various roles all over the world in advisory positions, construction and banking.
She has served on the boards of unlisted and listed entities and has worked for some of the biggest global corporates. Nyandoro uses her experience to ignite discussions around careers and how they can be enhanced without losing one's self-essence.
This book is what Nyandoro had hoped someone would have told her about or given to her when she started her career.
Transcend is published by Kwarts Publishers and is available for purchase from Amazon.
