Guyanese fashion icon, Sonia Noel has recently launched the cover of her new book as a gift to herself for her 47th birth anniversary.
MOTHERHOOD – The Mountains and the Valleys will comprise stories based on the highs and lows of motherhood and valuable lessons learnt.
Noel’s elder daughter, Mariska Jordan Fiedtkou, who has a six-year-old son, will be contributing a chapter to this new book. Also, Noel’s mother, Claudia John, will be sharing her story through the latest literary work of her eldest child.
Noel shared an excerpt from the book on social media and people are already excited. The fashion designer recently concluded a successful motivational tour to 14 cities in the United States of America (USA) as she promoted her last book.
The tour started in New York City at the Guyana Consulate in Manhattan where all four books were presented. Living with Intention – Beyond the Runway and the two anthologies WOMEN ACROSS BORDERS were well received.
The second stop was New Jersey where Jacqui Phillips – who is a celebrity makeup artist and one of the co-authors of WOMEN ACROSS BORDERS hosted that leg of the event.
Some of the other cities and states visited were Cambridge, Malden, Boston, Connecticut, Washington, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Tennessee, Mississippi, New Orleans, Fort Lauderdale, Miami and Orlando.
While in Washington, DC, the Guyanese Ambassador was invited to make a presentation on Capitol Hill on the importance of creative sector to the Caribbean.
Veteran journalist Francis Quamina Farrier and businessman Gerry Gouveia delivered brief remakes and congratulated Noel for her continued determination. Sonia Noel not only showcased her books but also made a presentation on her literary journey.
Apart from the motivational talks, fashion was also featured on the tour. The positive energies permeated the air at every event; and on some occasions the books were sold.
Upon her return to Guyana, she is living with intention and living true to the first sentence in the book. Determination, faith, focus, self –discipline and consistency can really make anything a reality.
