Happy New Year!! 2022 is finally here and you are here as well.

You made it. Another year that you were present to experience this glorious thing we call life. You should be proud of yourself because I am proud of you, very proud.

Okay this January we are reviewing Unbecoming to become by Ayanda Borotho. I picked this book because it’s the new year and when it is the new year we create something called new year’s resolutions, have you ever heard of it?? Where we swear that we are going to become the best version of ourselves starting from the 1st January to the 31st of January. Forget about all that throughout the whole year and panic when the year is about to end. I am kidding guys new year’s resolutions work if you do.

When we start our journey of becoming the best version of ourself and of wanting to live the life we have always dreamed of. We want to become something. We set goals of the things that we want to have or we want to become. We take on new responsibilities and we take on new habits.

That is all great but what about everything that we are right now that we don’t want to be. I mean there’s a reason why we feel like we are not quite there yet. We focus so much on the things that we want to do and be and less on the things we don’t want to do and be.

What if becoming the best version of yourself is not about becoming anything but unbecoming everything you were told to be in the first place?? Ayanda proposes this mindset.

The book is amazing, it made it to my best books list of 2021. This book taught me a lot about gender roles, sexism in homes and in the workplace, religion, marriage and how messed up the society we live in. It was funny and relatable. It was an amazing read.

This book will be mostly well received by young women. So I’m mostly recommending it to them.

I hope you doing great and that you have already goals for this year. Make this year memorable.

I love you so much❤️ Stay amazing and curious. Take care.
