A woman destined for great things
Natasha Morgan takes us through her journey of escaping death and writing a book to inspire.
Resident Natasha Morgan is a businesswoman and author of a book called Unbreakable Woman.
Morgan told the COURIER she comes from extremely humble beginnings and did not think she would survive what she has gone through.
“I survived being molested as a young girl and not growing up with my parents, having a baby at the age of 17 and not being able to buy a tin of milk for my child after his father was murdered.
“I got married later, had two more boys but was divorced at the age of 27. Then I had a nervous breakdown, attempted suicide, struggled to be a single parent and so much more,” she said.
Then, 11 years ago Morgan was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia and goes for treatment every two months, where she gets up to 20 injections in her joints and muscles.
Becoming successful
“Everything I have been through, however, did not stop me to become the person I am today. I later became a successful entrepreneur because I believed I was destined for greatness. I was not going to allow my sons to grow up in poverty and let history repeat itself.
“I now have my own air-conditioning company; my last contract was four years on a specific mine. I decided to take a break from the mining industry as it was very demanding having 20 men working for me and answering to a 100% male-dominated workforce,” said Morgan.
She said her health took its toll as well, and she got very sick. She opened up a salon and a beauty spa and designs her own skincare range.
Book inspiration
She found that when she told her story about the obstacles she had to endure, people would listen. That became the inspiration to put pen to paper.
“This is my first book in which I share my journey with people. Whenever I shared my life’s journey with people, they always encouraged me to write a book. I knew I should write to inspire many lives with similar challenges. My message is to uplift whatever circumstances other people go through and show them there is always a way to overcome life’s challenges,” said Morgan.
Another reason for writing the book is the second chance she was given in life after her body went into septic shock and experienced multiple organ failure.
“I was on life support for a week. The doctors said my recovery was an act of God. I asked God why he brought me back, and the answer was I had to write my book to give hope to others,” she said.
“People absolutely love it, and many have asked me to write a second book. Even if I help and inspire just a few women through my book, I have served my purpose,” said Morgan.
