MOXIE Book Launch & Justine's Birthday
About
Come and celebrate the launch of Justine Martin’s memoir MOXIE and her birthday.MOXIE is not a story of triumph or victory. It is the story of endurance. Of living through illness, trauma, grief and loss while raising children, running businesses and continuing to show up in a life that repeatedly demands adaptation. It speaks to what happens when the body no longer behaves as expected and the world does not slow down to accommodate it.
This memoir does not gloss over the hard parts. It sits in them. The anger that comes with loss of control. The exhaustion that settles into the bones. The dark humour that becomes a survival tool. And the long slow process of learning how to keep going without pretending everything is fine.
The foreword is written by Dr Tererai Trent, an internationally recognised humanitarian, educator and advocate for women and girls. Dr Tererai’s life journey from rural Zimbabwe to global leadership is grounded in lived resilience, making her voice a powerful and deeply aligned opening to this story.
MOXIE is about how resilience is built over time rather than discovered in a single moment. It explores the choices made when giving up would be easier. The values that guide decisions. The internal wiring that keeps someone moving forward even when the cost is high.
This book is for anyone who wants to understand how Justine built resilience. How she gained MOXIE. What drives her. What makes her tick.
