About the Author

Africa Brooke is a Zimbabwean born, internationally recognised consultant, accredited coach, speaker, and podcaster. A seasoned entrepreneur – she’s the Founder and CEO of Africa Brooke International, a consulting and coaching firm providing ongoing support for public figures, teams, and individuals struggling with personal and professional manifestations of self-sabotage and self-censorship. These clients, who are often high-profile individuals, are closely supported using the tools described in The Third Perspective.
 
Alongside hosting a weekly personal development and philosophy podcast (Beyond the Self) which has amassed over 600,000 downloads to date, she has a highly engaged following of more than 350,000 people, across all digital platforms (mostly Instagram). Africa is widely known for publishing a viral 4000-word open letter in January 2021 titled ‘Why I’m leaving the cult of wokeness’. Although initially sent to a modest email list, the positively received letter has now been read and shared organically by more than 14 million people globally.
 
As a professional public speaker, she’s been a featured guest on ITV, BBC Radio One, BBC Radio 4, BBC Sounds, and has delivered one of her signature keynotes at the prestigious Cambridge University. She’s written for mainstream publications such as The Guardian and has also appeared on a plethora of notable podcasts including Steven Bartlett’s Diary of a CEO, Almost 30, The Jordan B Peterson Podcast (16 million combined social media followers), Emma Gannon’s Ctrl Alt Delete, The Coleman Hughes Podcast, Dhru Purohit Podcast, and The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet.
