Today on Conversations at the Block, we’re honoured to host a special virtual re-stream and conversation around the launch of Rise Beyond Despair with Phumlani Mbulelo Ngceza — author, thought-leader, and advocate for South African youth.
Rise Beyond Despair is more than a book — it’s a manifesto of courage, purpose, and transformation, urging young people to move past survival mode, confront systemic challenges, and intentionally build lives of meaning and impact.
In this episode, we dive into:
• The heart and inspiration behind Rise Beyond Despair
• Why rising above hopelessness matters for this generation
• Practical steps toward purpose, resilience, and strategic action
• How this message speaks into broader community and societal renewal
Join us for this powerful dialogue that goes beyond the page — to mindset, faith, strategy, and courage.
