Helen May was born in South Africa where she witnessed the vulgarity of exclusion under the laws of Apartheid. An avid storyteller, she believes in the power of sharing stories to convey life-lessons, personal transformation, inspiration and compassion.

Helen is the author of three previously published books: The Possibilities of Music and Stories(1975), It Works (1987) and Mother Tongue (2016).
