The South African Alphabet of Affirmations

A book of affirmations that highlights each of South Africa’s eleven official languages: Sepedi, Sesotho, Setswana, siSwati, Tshivenda, Xitsonga, Afrikaans, English, isiNdebele, isiXhosa and isiZulu.

 

The affirmations are written by ten authors, adding to the piece in their home language. The book is a love letter to children (especially Black, Indigenous, and people of colour) in South Africa honouring their magic, worth, and power. It is the authors’ hope that BIPOC children discover the power of their voice through the recitation of these positive affirmations and know that they can change the world in an impactful way.
