From choreographing braai dances to surviving family WhatsApp groups, Prev learned early how to perform, deflect and entertain his way through a world obsessed with appearances and the fear of becoming a disappointment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrev delivers a moving memoir about tradition, taboo and the pressure to live a life that looks respectable from the outside, charting his journey from a glitter-loving child in Durban to an internationally recognised social media star and stage performer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHovering over it all is his alter-ego, Aunty Shamilla. She is opinionated and watchful – the familiar voice of community judgement, reluctant affection and unsolicited advice. Deeply honest and unapologetically bold, Qualified Disappointment is for anyone who has felt like an outsider in their own home and fought to stay soft, funny and powerful anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAge 16 +\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Prev Reddy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47361446838450,"sku":"9780639881782","price":315.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0562\/9191\/8002\/files\/9780639881782.webp?v=1779114811","url":"https:\/\/www.wordsworth.co.za\/products\/qualified-disappointment-trade-paperback","provider":"Wordsworth Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
