Criselda Kananda Dudumashe launched her book titled You Are Never Alone at Busy Corner Imbizo Shisanyama on April 11.
Among the dignitaries who attended the book launch were Gauteng MEC of Education Panyaza Lesufi, local author Sammy Dollar Sehoana, awarding-winning actress and philanthropist, Manaka Ranaka (known as Lucy Diale in Generations), praise poet Modjadji Selowa and local councillor Welhemina Matsemela, as well as book enthusiasts.
Dudumashe is a mother, speaker, professional counsellor, former nurse and medical underwriter.
She has worked with various government departments, as well as the corporate sector, on implementing workplace wellness programmes nationally and internationally.
She owns a consultancy and talk service called Positive Talk Services that focuses on workplace wellness programmes and advocates for total well-being of staff.
She is also a strategic adviser for Khomanani, a comprehensive government communication plan.
Since Dudumashe was diagnosed with HIV antibodies 10 years ago, she has lived a healthy, symptom-free and positive life.
This has compelled her to study immunity and AIDS progression, and investigate the research available regarding nutrition, behaviour and HIV and AIDS in her own personal life.
She started a radio talk show called Positive Talk in 2003 on Kaya FM focusing on how HIV and AIDS impacts on health, wellness and socio-economic imbalances.
Dudumashe now co-produces and hosts a show focusing on a healthy body, mind and spirit on Metro FM every Wednesday and Thursday evening from 7pm to 9pm.
Her simple values that could be instilled in all of us are: respect for self, respect for others, and taking responsibility for choices made.
