Ishara Pillay from Standerton shares her motherhood experiences
The first book focused on isolation during the pandemic, whereas the second revolves around social ills, those that are not talked about.
Ishara Pillay, teacher from Standerton Primary School, joined 26 contributors in writing a book about motherhood.
Ishara wrote a short story about her journey.
The anthology of Motherhood Honesty was launched on Tuesday, March 8.
Victorine Mbong Shu and Deborah Ballard-Reisch were the editors for this anthology.
The Standerton Advertiser has been following Ishara’s career from publishing her first book, 2020 to Alyssa’s Secret.
The first book focused on isolation during the pandemic, whereas the second revolves around social ills, those that are not talked about.
During an interview, she said that everybody has the ability to write a book, but those who write and publish a book, made a start.
“Begin and write your first page, write another page and before long, you would have your first chapter,” was the advice given to aspiring writers.
