Author – Olive Strachan MBE
PRIME
We are thrilled to announce the release of “Prime” the second compelling book by Olive Strachan MBE, distinguished global businesswoman and a prominent figure of the Windrush generation. Following the success of her first book, “The Power of You,” Olive Strachan MBE takes us on an inspiring journey through her life, capturing the essence of resilience, reinvention, and the power of embracing change.
The Power Of You
The young child of an immigrant family from Dominica. Through much of her life she has felt like a square peg in a round hole, trying desperately to fit in and curb her natural exuberance. In this book Olive shares with us the highs and lows of her business journey, how she has triumphed in the face of adversity and continued to run a successful business through a global recession to be awarded an MBE in 2019.
