SkinB5™ founder Judy Cheung-Wood shares her incredible story in new book Ubuntu compiled by Dr. Tererai Trent who is Oprah Winfrey's all time favourite guest, and reviewed Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York.
Here's what Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York says:
"Dr. Tererai Trent's collection of stories speaks to what I have always believed in life-our humanity is connected when kindness shines through and there is a deep bond that's formed between people and among nations when they feel seen and valued. I have followed Dr. Trent's work ever since I first read some of her writing. I love how she creates a beautiful world through education. I'm delighted to write the foreword for this book, Ubuntu: On Whose Shoulders We Stand, an anthology written by Tererai Trent and an amazing group of phenomenal women.
Dr. Trent's anthology comprises of remarkable lived experiences that not only warm our hearts but also inspire us to be the shoulders that others can stand upon. I'm truly inspired to see a cadre of women honoring and celebrating the heroines and sheroes who paved the path to their dreams, especially during the most challenging times of their journeys.
Without a shadow of a doubt, Tererai believes that the chances of achieving our dreams in life are greater when our passion for them collides with others who believe and support us. While each story celebrates the heroes and sheroes who paved the way for these women, these lived experiences offer life lessons for global healing while nurturing the essence of our humanity that exists inside us all. 2 Sarah Ferguson, Duchess Of York Tererai, my friend, please accept my gratitude for sharing ubuntu with the world.
Thank you for allowing us to stand on each other's shoulders. To the authors in this book, thank you for your brave voices and for tapping into what makes us human beings-ubuntu. Indeed, as your stories crystalize the essence of our humanity, this is what ultimately heals the world."
- Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York

Overview
An ancient African word meaning "humanity to others". It is often described as reminding us that "I am what I am because of who we all are".
When we live in a world that celebrates individual success while downplaying the role of others in achieving our dreams. We often forget that others play an equal part in our achievements. When you share your gratitude, you will rise up higher than you could ever dream of. Let's celebrate and honor other people who have helped us along the way.
Ubuntu: On Whose Sholders We Stand is a collection of inspired authors sharing their tales of giving humanity to others.
