This collection of words from Havva Ramadan has its origins during lockdown and her work continues to resonate to this day, finding an ever-wider audience through her rapidly growing online presence. Now, in her first book, A Voice: Turning Pain into Power, those words take a different form, collected together to give us a very personal journey that we can all relate to, reflecting the pain of grief and the journey we need to take to help us collect the pieces and find a way to rebuild ourselves once again.
And A Voice: Turning Pain into Power is more than a collection of internet writings. With additional unpublished material, Havva also now shares secrets she has never posted online, revealing her troubled early life and heart and soul through her work in the hope that she can help others through life after loss, as she has had to do herself, and learn to live again.
Followers and sharers on social media include Ricki Lake, Annie Lennox, Khloe Kardashian, Viola Davis, Alison Hammond, Kevin Liles and many more, all drawn to Havva's work by the honesty and truth of her words.
