Publisher's Synopsis
'Lessons from the Unknown' is a magnificent collection of poems that explores the territories of love, loss and the power to really 'discover' one's self within. Chavanese's ability to show the world how to care about the important things in life is a unique journey delivered in the Language of Life [absolutely incredible]. The book is a foray inside an amazing, young, creative and inspiring woman who has learnt how to transform the negative realities of this world into a positive outcome.
Chavanese has been inspiring the world for many years, focusing on empowering and motivating young people who have been involved in gangs, crime, and gun and knife crimes. She has been in and out of youth centres, parent groups, colleges and schools, in order to ensure that they get the teaching they really need. "In life, there are no boundaries, and there are no limitations; only those that seem to appear as being 'real' when we have unconsciously set them upon ourselves.
What we need to always remember is, it is the process in life that makes things transform for us. As humans, oftentimes we ʻfailʼ to understand the ʻtrue meaningʼ of life, and we also find it so hard to separate our minds from our hearts; not realising that the problem is never actually the problem, the solution lies in our attitude towards the 'problemʼ."
