Because of You, This is Me by Jaz Ampaw-Farr is one of the most inspiring, wonderful and informative books I have read in a long time. Jaz’s openness and authenticity shine through as she bravely shares her story, taking us from the depths of despair in her upbringing to the remarkable person she is today. Her journey is nothing short of courageous, and it’s a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

The narrative is a heartfelt love letter to the teachers who have shaped her life and career. Jaz reflects on her past with a raw honesty that is both touching and enlightening. Rather than succumbing to the pain and heartache of her childhood, she transforms these struggles into powerful lessons of hope and strength. This remarkable ability to turn adversity into inspiration is what makes her story resonate so deeply.

Throughout the book, readers will laugh, cry and find themselves reflecting on their own experiences. Jaz’s journey encourages us to look at our own lives with a new perspective, reminding us that our past does not define us but rather moulds us into who we can become.

I cannot recommend this book enough. It is a beautiful piece of writing that will linger in your heart and mind long after you’ve turned the last page. If you’re seeking inspiration and a reminder of the power of resilience, Because of You, This is Me is a must-read.
