In 2014, Samantha became a bestselling author, with three books for Penguin.
Bestselling author.
Her debut book spent nine weeks at #1, breaking sales records and blowing her mind.
"I actually wrote my first book Banana Rock, when I was eight - a charming tale about murderous singing fruit..."
"It took another 30 years to become a published author though, because I was working in television and completely forgot about my childhood dreams."
"I'm proof that it's never too late to become the person you thought you'd be. I'm currently on Version 5.0..."
Twisted advice.
Her new series of books is a refreshing twist on self-help.
"I write the books I wanted to read when I was going through hard times, because I still want to laugh when I'm waist-deep in crap."
Creative.
The journalist and award-winning producer has developed creative multi-platform content for more than 100 organisations.
"I love creating content that engages, empowers and educates the audience. My background in media and communications means I'm able to use a range of formats for impactful storytelling."
Ethnic stir-fry.
Samantha was born in England to South African parents, who were a mix of Indigenous African (Xhosa), Chinese, Javanese and European. She spent most of her childhood in NZ and lives in Australia.
Her ethnicity is complex. But interesting.
Kinda like her.
