The Ubuntu Courtyard Experience
A Warm Welcome
Take a moment to pause from the busy-ness of life and enjoy nourishing food for the soul, heart and mind. Together, let us reflect so we may find ourselves again, discover who we indeed are and restore what we’ve lost. Let us celebrate, share and learn from each other’s remarkable stories of bravery and adventures, including scars sustained along the way!
Harmonious Story-telling
Enjoy engaging discussions from everyday people with one desire in common; finding their voices to strengthen and encourage one another. The more stories we share, the more we realise that we have so much in common despite our differences. Behind every ordinary being is an extraordinary story.
Thought-provoking Insight
Our quest for knowledge continues to help us discover the beauty of learning and embracing differences through global narratives that cross boundaries. Derive inspiration from ever-evolving cultures, daily interactions and everyday occurrences.
About Founder
Fortune Ma-one founded Ubuntu Courtyard to fulfil a dream to lead a company with a purpose to champion personal growth. She was raised through stories; her parents had a knack for describing events and explaining circumstances through storytelling. Known as a cheerleader amongst close friends, Fortune derives joy from seeing others thrive. Her personal journey and experiences have contributed to how she views the world:
- Our differences make us whole, and they must be celebrated.
- Fulfilled individuals build up thriving communities.
- Great encounters are often found in the least likely, the weak and those who seem as if they've got nothing to give. It takes unconditional love to unlock the secret.
Submissions
Currently, our company is developing in-house publications with plans to expand our services. We hope to publish works by other authors limited to a specific genre in future.
