Naked Ambition - Jackie Phamotse

 

It’s true, I write what I like…

I have been relatively a problem ha ha ha however I have learned the power of growth though my family and personal experience. My Full name is actually Jacqueline Katleho Phamotse, I went to a Afrikaans school and they couldn’t pronounce my names and “Jackie” was born and ever since that I have been known as Jackie, actually I love the name hence I haven’t changed it. 

 

Shattered Innocence means “Broken Purity” something that can not be restored.  I choose the name because of the impact of challenges and the broken society on young people. When people move from their respective homes, especially villages or small towns and they travel to Urban Cities something in them changes and it so happens that most of the people change into monsters. I speak about restoring faith and dreams in the book, but most importantly pursuing your dream at all costs, even after complete failure.  The truth is, we all have a story to tell but understanding where you are going is vital. Shattered Innocence is a novel based on a true story with a hint of merged testimonies. I started writing this book in 2013. The Sandton Lifestyle has intrigued me for years. I am a very ambitious soul and I have an eye for good things, so from a very young age I wanted opulence. I looked at how the rich lived and how the poor envied, but most importantly how they treated each other in social settings.

The wealthy want more than money, social states has become an addiction and ego boost, and the poor feed that void. When the sugar daddy phenomena took rise, back in 2007 a lot of people didn’t care until Khanyi Mbau gave a spin on it…. what she was could have been called a “Gold digger” but the concept of a Sugar Daddy and “Ben ten” trend has taken a whole new life. It's a business, social validation and standard. It’s a job for other women and an ego boost for men.  In Shattered Innocence, I explore the nature of the relationships and the pros and cons of having such a relationship. However, each situation is different and people have their own options and situations on why they date sugar daddies and vice versa. 

Sex, Money and Love go hand in hand in any society, the foundation of adult hood starts with these aspects. When people share their feelings, love stands firm on the outcome of their decision. Its either they love you or they don’t, hence sex will mean different things to many people. Shattered Innocence, creates a 3D outlook on how sex and love could be enemies to humans. The very same things that’s meant to bring us closer together could kill, and destroy us all. Too much of a good thing is bad and in the book, I show you the dangers of using sex for the wrong reasons. Money can buy so many things even a person’s soul.  There are so many things we shy away from and Money in relationships leaves a bitter taste in our mouths, we simply don’t want to talk about it, but when you have a sugar daddy the tradeoff needs to be clear. What you are offering and what he is paying. There is more than a causal relationship, most of the time the Sugar daddy pays for most of your needs and you cater sex and Social appearances where necessary. The lifestyle is costly but what you may lose costs more than someone’s bank balance. Start loving your vision, fight for your passion. I am not my gender nor am I just a dreamer…trust your dream so you live it better. We are a bruised society and no one taught us how to live after apartheid. But that’s no excuse to stop chasing our dreams without fighting for the end result. 

Shattered Innocence is a game changer, it will have you questioning yourself, and the society you live in. Times have changed don’t find yourself at the bottom of the food chain, dream bigger and work in silence.

Smile in Faith.
