Ep 44. How are you filling the hole in your soul?

Killing Caroline and Mad, Bad Love are the provocative book titles that track the life journey of my podcast guest, Sara-Jayne Makwala King. She’s an ward-winning radio presenter, best-selling author, journalist and public speaker.

Sara-Jayne was conceived across the color line in what was then, Apartheid South Africa. She was whisked out of the country by her white British mother and put up for adoption in the UK. She lost her identity before she was born.

Her writing is based on the evolution of her personal story. Much of Sarah-Jayne’s work focuses on issues of race, indentity, adoption, addiction recovery and mental health. They don’t just touch a sub-set of society, they affect us all.

If you have a hole in your soul for any reason, the chances are that you have developed some kind of addiction to stop the gap even if it’s not drugs, sex and alcohol.
