Africa in my Heart - A...

I am greeted by the petrifying sight of thirty or sixty or seventy buffalo looming large at a distance, each of them staring at me. Just staring would be okay; I could handle that. But these are also coming at me.

I just stand there turned to stone, waiting for something to happen – something other, that is, than having a herd of cape buffalo running toward me. If it weren't for Peter, they surely would have trampled me to death. Fortunately, he recollects himself just in time to yell at me to get my ass behind the tree.

The tree. Hmm . . . What tree?

Hands Off! Overcoming...

In this book, Regina opens up on a subject matter that is usually shrouded in controversy. She bares it all out exposing deeply ingrained issues around sexual harassment in the workplace.

She practically provides details that, in most cases, go unreported due to fears of ‘stereotypes’ the victim is likely to suffer as a backlash effect. Regina provides a balanced view on this workplace malice as she articulates the different techniques used by perpetrators of sexual harassment on victims who can be either male or female.
