Meet Ankwetta Beatrice Achaleke, a fearless African soul celebrating over 50 glorious orbits around the sun! Her incredible journey spans continents, cultures, and emotions, woven with49 years of wisdom forged through trials, triumphs, and transformation. Cameroon's nurturing embrace shaped her early years, infusing her with boundless enthusiasm and a curious naiveté. Then, Austria beckoned, opening a kaleidoscope of experiences – a mosaic of gains, losses, and battles within. These challenges kindled a profound desire to heal, propelling her back to her African roots in 2015. South Africa became her sanctuary, a cocoon for self-discovery and the incubator of her GloBUNTU Transformational Mindshift System™, a compass guiding her metamorphosis. From wounded to warrior, she emerged stronger, embracing her role as a mother, a human, and a visionary professional.
Achaleke's journey isn't just personal; it's a tango of words and wisdom. She's the maestro behind GloBUNTU Books, crafting37 books and 18 ebooks that inspire, empower, and ignite minds. Her coaching prowess fostered a literary renaissance, empowering 37 budding authors to unleash their voices – and 18 of them even claimed coveted awards! Fluent in 6 languages, including the rhythmic beats of Bangwa and the harmonies of Portuguese she's mastering, Achaleke's voyage continues. Currently, Sao Tome and Principe are her new classrooms for learning and healing, as she embarks on yet another chapter of her extraordinary story.
