Iman Rappetti is an award-winning journalist who has been involved in print, radio and television. She worked as a young journalist in South Africa and then abandoned it (along with all her worldly possessions) when she became Muslim.
She lived in the Islamic Republic of Iran for two years, where she also worked on a current affairs TV show for the state broadcaster before returning to South Africa and resuming her life here. She describes herself as ‘the youngest of five children. One Rasatafarian brother (passed away), one ex-con brother (who can dance the pants off any woman and has a wicked sense of humour), another brother who’s a big shot in the marine engineering industry (he makes a mean curry), and a sister who has the thankless task of staying at home and raising the rugrats (she has a way with words, and also makes a kick-ass briyani)’. In this moving and entertaining memoir, Iman shares stories and what she has learned from her colourful journey through life.

IMAN RAPPETTI is originally from Phoenix (proudly the thirteens) in KwaZulu-Natal and now lives in Johannesburg. She counts among her career highlights, interviews and encounters with former South African presidents, Thabo Mbeki and Jacob Zuma, and the queen of talk, Oprah Winfrey. A senior eNCA anchor for over a decade, Rappetti left the broadcaster in April 2017 but continues to be on the airwaves hosting a popular weekday radio show on Power FM. She is eagerly waiting to see what life brings on next.
