The Spotted Zebra

Select Preferred Format

When you’re born into this world, you aren’t born knowing you are different, till someone points it out. And makes a bigger deal of it than he or she needs to.
Uma Rudd Chia was different for a few reasons. She had clinical ADHD which was only diagnosed when she was sixteen, because of a tragedy-but even when she found out, she desperately tried to keep it a secret because there was no worse crime than being different.
The reality is we are all different. But we live in a society and go through an education system that defines what normal looks like. This may prepare you to be an obedient member of society-one that’s predictable and easy to control.
But does it make you the best version of you?
This book contains her life learnings from being different-how through a turn of events and life changing encounters, Uma learned to embrace and accept her differences and become all that she is-wife, mother, keynote speaker, author, cofounder of Singapore’s coolest women run advertising agency and a notorious rule breaker.
Whether you are reading this book hoping to be a better person or to simply have a good laugh, the one thing it will definitely help you do is embrace what makes you unique and use that to conquer your world.
