Summary
Through one incredible woman's journey from a child bride in a small Zimbabwe village to one of the world's most recognizable voices in women's empowerment and education, this manifesto inspires women to pursue their sacred dreams through nine essential lessons brought forth from ancient African wisdom.
Before Tererai Trent landed on Oprah's stage as her "favorite guest of all time", she was a woman with a forgotten dream. As a young girl in a cattle-herding village in Zimbabwe, she dreamed of receiving an education but instead was married young and by 18, without a high school graduation, she was already a mother of three. Tererai encountered a visiting American woman who assured her that anything was possible, reawakening her sacred dream. Tererai planted her dreams deep in the earth and prayed they would grow. They did, and now not only has she earned her PhD, but she has also built schools for girls in Zimbabwe, with funding from Oprah. The Awakened Woman: Remembering & Reigniting Our Sacred Dreams is her accessible, intimate, and evocative guide that teaches nine essential lessons to encourage all women to reexamine their dreams and uncover the power hidden within them - power that can re-create our world for the better.
Tererai points out that there is a massive, untapped global resource in women who have, for one reason or another, set aside their wisdom, their skills, and their dreams in order to take care of the personal business of their lives. Not only is this a type of invisible suffering experienced by countless women, this rich resource is a secret weapon for improving our world. Women have the capacity to inspire, to create, to transform - and Tererai's call to action will awaken hearts, give permission to recapture dreams, and provide the tools to forge a brighter path for all. This is the movement of Sacred Sisters.

Beautiful sorry 💚
Loved listening to Tererai’s life story. So heart warming and a real affirmation that anything is possible if you have a dream, vision, and keep true to your heart regardless of your circumstances. I welled up listening to how she reappeared on Oprah who surprised her with the donation to rebuild the school in her area. Incredible woman! Highly recommended x

wonderful minus the tangents
I loved it though I struggled with the tangents she goes on sometimes and she narrated to slowly for me (had to speed it up). When she gets into her life story is when it really shines and is essential reading for people who dream to make the world a better place.

From one sister to another
I loved this book so much because it spoke to me in so many ways. The fact that Dr Trent is Zimbabwean and is sharing her story and offering such amazing advice is just inspiring. I got so many gems from here. Tinogona, Tinogona, Tinogona!

The elements in this story are clear and fluid
Please be aware that this book holds some very harrowing experiences from Terrarai's life. I found many of them very upsetting. It is her story and that makes it all meaningful. I understand clearly how she wants to guide us to find our sacred truth but terrifying me hasn't helped me find mine. This story and the way she wants to help is honourable and will guide so many people but I found it very difficult to listen to in places.
