About the Author

Writer. Therapist. Wife. Mother. Truth-speaker.

Born in Uganda and living in Melbourne, she writes from the tender places between faith and fire.

This memoir is not just a telling — it is a healing.

She believes no story is too broken to be redeemed, and no voice too silenced to rise.

Woven in Favour is written under the name Desdemona Bennet — a pen name chosen with intention, drawn from the echoes of women who stirred her imagination.

Desdemona, from Shakespeare: loyal, courageous, and tender in spirit.

Elizabeth Bennet, from Austen: bold in thought, quietly defiant, and true to herself.

Though the name is borrowed, the story is entirely her own.

She writes from sacred ground — where wounds speak, truth stands, and grace does its quiet work.
