The Durban Book Fair in partnership with The Valley Trust and The Mitchell Park Trust acknowledged the work of 21 women on Saturday, 21 March 2021 at Mitchell Park in Durban.
Lorraine who is a journalist, author and editor said she was both honoured and thrilled to receive the award.
“For me, an inspiring woman is simply a woman who can fill someone with the desire or urge to do something worthwhile. A woman, who lives her life free from definitions, constraints and attachment to generally accepted ideas and stereotypes of beauty and success. There are many such women out there, and I am honoured to be recognised as one of them,” said Lorraine.
She said she was grateful to Anivesh Singh, author of Made In Chatsworth, Kiru Naidoo and the Durban Book Fair for recognising her contribution to local literature.
