Meet the Author - Belinda Collins

Meet Belinda Collins co-author of Warrior princess: fighting for life with courage and hope

Warrior Princess is the true-life story of a woman Belinda describes as 'the most inspirational leader with the power to change the world', Zambian Princess Kasune Zulu. Belinda and Princess met in 2002 when Belinda worked in the media team of World Vision Australia. Belinda and Princess formed a bond that they describe as sisterhood.

Princess lost her parents, baby sister and brother to AIDS. At the age of 21 Princess learned she too was HIV positive. Since that time Princess has travelled the world fighting against the virus that has left one in three children in her country an orphan. Most notably, Princess sat eyeball-to-eyeball with former US President George W Bush in the Oval Office and compelled him to spend $15 billion fighting AIDS in Africa and the Caribbean. Warrior Princess is her story written with the help of Belinda Collins. Belinda describes herself as a social justice entrepreneur with a heart for issues affecting the world's women and children.
