Hi, I’m Idelette. (Pronounced: Ee-da-lette) Life is an adventure. I am neuro-spicy, deeply spiritual, love to play and laugh. I am always learning. I live, play and write on the unceded territories of the Kwantlen, Semiahmoo and Sto:lo peoples in Surrey, Canada. My heart is stretched across oceans and continents as I navigate what it means to be a global citizen. I was born and raised in South Africa; it is the beat of my heart and the warmth in my soul. That story, however, required me to consider my place and responsibility in the story of humanity and in April 2022, I published my first book, “Recovering Racists: Dismantling White Supremacy and Reclaiming Our Humanity.” (Ninety percent of the profits were given towards restitution and making the world just a little more right.) When I was 16, I read a book that cracked open the all-White world I’d grown up in and shattered so many of my belief systems. I’ve spent my life ever since leaving the construct of Whiteness, unlearning so much of what I had internalized and learning a new way of being human. In 1995, my journey took me to Taipei, Taiwan where I worked as a reporter and studied Mandarin. I loved my life in Taiwan, zipping around the city on my purple scooter. In 1999, I felt the nudge to go on an around-the-world trip. That July, I flew from Taipei to Chicago and also spent a week in New York. On Aug. 1, 1999, Scott picked me up from the Vancouver airport and, in that instant, my life changed dramatically. I spent 3 weeks in Vancouver, and by the time I was headed to the airport again, we’d decided to get married. Over the next two months, I traveled to England, the Czech Republic and South Africa. By the time I returned to Taiwan in September, I knew my chapter there was coming to a close. I spent time packing up my life and saying goodbye to my wonderful friends. In November 1999, I flew back to Vancouver and started my next adventure: marriage and life as an immigrant on a new continent. My life has been marked by a certain gumption. I was the first person in my family to walk on the Great Wall of China. The first to travel in Asia. The first to travel to North America. The first to start a new life in Canada. I dared to marry a man I’d known for only 3 months. I dared to start an online magazine (SheLovesmagazine.com) for women and create a space where women’s voices in the church and beyond could be heard—loudly, beautifully, clearly. I dared to create an online community where women encouraged each other, cheered each other on and celebrated each other. We had a practice of “Speaking Beautiful Behind Each Other’s Backs.” We created a safe and brave place in the world where women dared to be their whole, glorious selves. We launched authors, pastors, priests, non-profit leaders, therapists, artists and activists. I dared to write a book, inviting other White people to join me on this journey of recovering from our racism. I am about to embark on another adventure. This next chapter will require more gumption than ever before. I cannot—and don’t want to—do this alone. I invite you to join me by signing up for my newsletter to follow along and remember your gumption. We can live our most fully alive life and help create the world we long for. Do you dare? “Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing.” —Arundhati Roy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610dbbc794c5a42a599e2d5c/b794a74c-c1c9-4398-98a6-dec07cfcf3cb/06.jpg About - Life can be so juicy.

From South Africa to Taiwan to the streets of Hebron, a former residential school in Canada and a pilgrimage through the Southern United States. I share 20 practices—20 Stations of Liberation—that I show up to in my recovery, from acknowledgement and facing the ugly truth, to becoming part of repair and restitution. It is a journey of inner transformation, liberation and essentially, Love. One of the most difficult things is not to change society—but to change yourself. —NELSON ROLIHLAHLA MANDELA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610dbbc794c5a42a599e2d5c/79e389f5-6e7f-41e6-8081-eadbbfe5aca9/341224_McVicker_SMgraphics8.jpg My Book - Join me in Recovering from our Racism. Recovering Racists: Dismantling White Supremacy & Reclaiming Our Humanity (April 2022) This book is a journey out of whiteness and reckoning with my place in the crime against humanity that was apartheid in South Africa. But we also know racism is not just a South African story. It was where I started, but I have also seen apartheid in so many places in our world, including in my own heart. This journey has taken 30+ years and—of course—it continues. Yes, this is a book to white people, but I hope it is for a different world. Whiteness has done so much harm across many centuries. Imagine us taking some time together, so we can do less harm. My deepest hope is that this book will become part of repair and restitution in our world, including financially. (Subscribe to my newsletter to hear the latest news on that.) O, how I long for a different world for everyone. It’s time. I hope you will join me on this journey.

(Pronounced: Ee-da-lette) I live, play, dance, make bread and write on the unceded territories of the Kwantlen, Semiahmoo and Sto:lo peoples in Surrey, Canada. I am the author of “Recovering Racists: Dismantling White Supremacy and Reclaiming Our Humanity.” (Releasing April 12, 2022.) I was born and raised in South Africa during the apartheid era.

In 1995, my journey took me to Taipei, Taiwan where I worked as a reporter. Then, in 1999, I moved from Taiwan to Canada, after falling in love with Scott. Now we have 3 teenagers, two dogs and a restaurant. I am also the founder of SheLoves Media Society and the Dangerous Women community. One of my great joys is hosting our weekly “Liberation Hour” for Dangerous Women. I love Jesus, justice and living juicy. https://idelette.com/store daily 0.75 2025-03-13 https://idelette.com/store/p/write-your-race-card-story-workshop monthly 0.5 2025-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/610dbbc794c5a42a599e2d5c/ba28d126-6a22-415d-a373-81c53b02944b/Copy+of+Race+Card+Story+FB+post+%28Product+Image%29.PNG Store - Write Your Race Card Story Workshop
